Tony,
All of Netflix's customers are the beneficiary of this ruling, as well 
as anyone who uses Youtube, Hulu or any other streaming service. Netflix 
uses the most bandwidth because they have the most customers. It isn't 
only the companies  like these that benefit, it's their customers. The 
Internet doesn't exist as some libertarian fantasy world. The only ones 
that were going to benefit from from being able to turn the hose off and 
on were the one's who own the hose, not the one's who use it. Net 
neutrality is not a bad thing.

73,
Scott, N9AA
