It's an issue that moves too slow for the news cycle, main stream news probably isn't all that sympathetic to net neutrality to begin with, to gain much popular traction outside a relatively small circle of concerned individuals.

The companies that stand to benefit are large monopolies or oligopolies can probably engage in more free speech (bribes) in the form of campaign donations than the other side. There are also lots of jobs in the cable and phone companies to employ all the staffers, senators and their sons and daughters combined to make killing off net neutrality a pretty easy sell.

It will be a while before the expense hits individuals. The first attacks will come in the form of pay for better bandwidth to content providers cushioning the impact on consumer households. By the time the consumer is really taking the whole system will have become entrenched.

Maybe I've gone over the paranoid cynicism cliff never to return but I don't really think we have a government dedicating to serving the people and not even sure if we ever did.
