The service providers are struggling not because they dont make enough money but their growth is very poor. Also in developing countries there are too many players which draw the price low. All these ways are to monetize the **** out of their current infrastructure as they really have no other opportunity.

Not quite as bad, but net neutrality is challenged in US as well. Netflix made a deal with Comcast sometime ago to get faster streaming for their content. On similar lines, my T-Mobile service provides free steaming of certain music streaming apps like Pandora, Spotify, ITunes Radio that does not count towards my data usage allocation. The smaller players in this space are left out. However, their intention is to provide the user with free music streaming as against trying to sell any of their services. It works great for me personally because I use up about 1.5-2 GB of data just streaming Spotify during my commute. :two_thumbs_up: But, the bottomline here is that net neutrality is challenged here too. I think the FCC is working on some rules to tighten up currebt net neutrality laws.

Net Neutrality in certain areas look like overreach. I definitely suffered with netflix speed initially when i was with AT&T.

Don't know man. I have U-Verse and Netflix works like a charm. What streaming device were you using? I have heard some Smart TVs have buffering problems thar have nothing to do with your internet performance. I have a friend who has Verizon Fios 25 MBPS and was having issues with buffering on Dishworld app on his Smart TV. I use Roku and all apps work like a charm. No buffering issues whatsoever.

In February the FCC ruled in favor of Net Neutrality.
