    Question: can we expect net neutrality rules to change every 4/8 years with each new administration?

    How will that impact everything, broadly speaking? Unstable rules and regs are hard to work around.

    People were sending Ajit Pai death threats. Were they aware his rules would be reversed in4-8 years? It sure seemed serious a few years ago (not violently serious but a major issue for sure). I feel misled for not knowing regs will change real quick.

    Just curious, I have no idea how this sort of thing works.

        I guess I meant I didn’t realize these things can and do swing back and forth with the political pendulum. It just felt more permanent ish than that, idk.
