Then the FCC end runs the federal court decision with a second rule making for "Net Neutrality" which is supported oddly enough by COMCAST and every huge broadband and content provider.

Your information appears somewhat out of date. The FCC has come out strongly in favor of NN, and Comcast, Verizon and AT&T are freaking out. As for the content providers, they're actually in opposition to the carriers.
So what's happening is that two sets of corporate interests are struggling. On one side we have the companies using the Internet - Amazon, eBay, Microsoft, Twitter, Netflix, Google - and on the other side, we have the carriers. Forget about us consumers, we don't matter. But for f.cking once, we actually have corporate interests that coincide with ours.
