heir members "will suffer irreparable harm, as they did in the wake of the 2015 Order. In particular, petitioners' members will be forced to delay or forego valuable new services, incur prohibitive compliance costs, and pay more to obtain capital."

'please no, were only making billions of dollars and our profits should be guaranteed'

What "valuable new services" could they possibly be talking about? Is the internet fast? Does it stay on most of the time? What the fuck else do they think people want?

Clearly they've found a new way to bundle your internet, cellular, satellite tv, auto insurance, pet walker, and lawn care, all in a new ultra-value^† bundle.

^(† ultra-value only available for first month, cancellation fees may apply; we reserve the right to package and sell your totally for realsies anonymous usage data)

Who doesn't want a bunch of packages bundled in at a low price* where the advertisement does not list the extra fees?

*for three months and then your bill will double

Irreparable harm? Yet... here they are... making billions. Is this sarcasm?

Fucking rich asshole ISPs whinging about having to follow rules.

GTFO already.

Oh, that's why mine suddenly removed the data caps... Here I was hoping we might be getting some decent competition. Eh, will take it while I can until the next FCC flips the rules again.
