> Pai argued that rolling back the rules will encourage ISPs to spend more on their broadband networks

How? How on earth does letting ISPs milk more money out of their existing network incentivize those ISPs to expand that network? It's just so frustrating that these guys no longer even bother to pretend that their arguments make any logical sense at all. "We'll protect user privacy by eliminating these rules that protect user privacy!" "We'll boost competition and choice, by giving the existing entrenched players more control and power!"

This is just such a naked demonstration of regulatory capture. It boggles my mind.
