The concern is that a teleco can create an alternative and provide it for cheaper than competition. For example, Spectrum creates a Netflix, changes $20 dollars for it, then blockades Netflix behind a $20 'teleco' fee. Now your choices are $20 Spectrum-flix or $15+$20 Netflix.

No - I’m specifically saying they cannot do that.

Like I said - their internet service cannot block or slow down any site or app.

If they want to create their own streaming service and give you fast access to it, they can - but they cannot slow down anything else.

That’s why my rule works.
