Reply #6: Because going from "no regulation" to "not quite enough regulation" doesn't bother people so much

[Recursion]

It's not like there's some FCC-enforced net neutrality rule out there now; it's just always been the SOP of the carriers. The fact that the administration just decided to regulate carrier neutrality, but did not include mobile devices in that regulation, doesn't get people worked up.

Plus, most Americans (including most people I've seen blogging about it) simply don't understand the technical issues here. Anybody can relate to someone being fired; relating to the interpretation of Quality-of-Service RFCs and the difference between unicast and multicast packets is less general.
