The big media/telecommunication companies win. The consumers lose. The content providers lose. Unless, of course, the content providers are willing to pay more money for the kind of fast access they get for free now, or the content providers are already owned by the big media companies.
And there's nothing we can do to stop it now. The courts have ruled that the F.C.C. does not have regulatory authority over the internet. The Congress has been given millions by the big media companies, and therefore will not pass anything to interject (even though they have received many million e-mails and letters each time this has come up before).
