As an American, my observation is that the FCC always sells out to the highest bidder or the loudest complainer.
That's why all of our cell providers have a different band allocated to them, and why AT&T got the best GSM band while T-Mo gets worst.
It's also why we can't show boobies or say 'vulgar' words on over-the-air television.
Removing vulgarity creates the illusion that public interests are being protected. In my opinion, auctioning off radio frequencies and selectively enforcing regulations shows a more accurate picture.
In this particular case, I don't think the public cares much about net neutrality, while the corporations are clear in what they want. I see no reason why the FCC wouldn't side with the corporations instead of the indecisive (and not yet inconvenienced) public.
