America is more or less the center of the world (not literally) and given that they are seen as role models for the modern world, every country would try to copy what's popular with the Western world. North America provides unparalleled influence to other nations, simply because it has been presented as the ideal nation for development and aspiration. For me in particular, I would be incredibly frustrated if internet providers were able to dictate how slow or fast websites I access are.
How have the general public reacted to the FCC's proposal?.
The FCC accepted for the general public to provide them with their opinions. This lead to the largest amount of feedback to any American subject ever, with over 3 million comments and even more e-mails, it seems pretty clear that the people are against the violation of net neutrality. Dozens upon dozens of people have protested against the FCC's terms, with hundreds of people making signs with phrases like, "Keep the internet free", as their motto.There's practically no one who is actively supporting the FCC, but there are people who are very negative about the subject with some of them proclaiming that net neutrality is dead, specifically with the phrase, "R.I.P. Net Neutrality", most likely because these people believe that the FCC's terms will be approved regardless of the public's view. As for those without access to internet services, of course they remain impartial as it has no impact on them whatsoever. That is the typical response you would expect from those who do not spend hours upon hours browsing the internet. As accurate as that may appear, for developing countries that seek to be equivalent in image and popularity, a stance on such an issue would be of the essence. Both to provide feedback for or against the matter, as well as prove that the nation seeks to become as high of a priority as others.
How are the plans for the FCC's proposal going along?.
