I live in a small town in Patagonia, working for a local cooperative ISP. I understand you and hope you will defend the local ISPs as the whole free speech, free (as in libre) communication, and continuous independent innovation, as we used to know it since internet was invented, depends on net neutrality, both from legally and commercially point of view. Best regards!

Wow. Patagonia? That's the tip of the continent of South America. You can literally visit both the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans in a day from there.
I'm glad you have community broadband there, too. I believe that this is the wave the future. Eventually, the private ISPs will be overcome by public/private, co-operatives and purely public infrastructure that is purpose built to serve the community. And it looks like you're living it! Cool...
Thank you for your comment. So nice to read that someone that far away can see the promise of community broadband.
Be well...
haha yes, I'm few hours of distance from both oceans, though I'm im North Patagonia, so the continent is not so thin here as if I would be closer to south pole.
I hope you're right and the future is in the community, local and public providers, but I'm afraid that may not be. Let's do what's at our hands anyways.
Best
