Net neutrality: Google, FB, Netflix stocks drop sharply as Comcast, Verizon gain (imgur.com)

The stock market is indicating that net neutrality is lost, and is picking winners and losers. Comcast and Verizon are licking their chops to charge tolls - FAANG will have to pay. And consumers will lose.


Not that it's much, but just yesterday I shucked my freshly-paid-for Verizon iPhone 7 Plus for a T-Mobile iPhone 8. I realize it doesn't make a dent in the issue, but Verizon has become bad news for consumers who care about the issue.
