Ugh.
Let's hope it never gets that bad.

I realize that's satire, but actual net neutrality violations are much cleverer and mostly won't even be visible to users. For example, it's more likely that Wired would (be forced to) pay Comcast a cut of their ad revenue.

Everything is relative. He actually wasn't that bad for being an industry shill. The next commissioner will be worse (for consumers).

This was poorly reported. Wheeler was a cable industry shill over three decades ago when cable was an innovative underdog being oppressed by the broadcast establishment.

He was the opposite in the recent times. Unlike any of his predecessors, he pushed a tremendous amount of consumer friendly policies and curbed monopolistic abuses of incumbents. He failed to repeal anti-competitive local state laws which ban municipal Internet, but he managed to pass Net Neutrality rules.
It would be a pity if all that effort will be dismantled by corrupted commissioners backed by monopolists who hate competition and progress.
