In as much as this may seems like it might affect the crypto currency market, I don't see it as the one that would mean its end. The only thing that this would mean the end of bitcoin is if they are compelled by law that bitcoin is illegal and the moment that is not there, they would be contravening the provision of the law. Aside that most of this service providers are mainly for profit organisation and I don't see them stopping access to bitcoin related site when there is no law they are relying on to support their decision if one should say I won't, its an open market others will allow.

From the article a lot of internet providers AT&T specifically have been investing in the blockchain technology which is another plus for bitcoin. And finally, this is another wake up call to developers that are serious about making a change in the industry to create something of value for everyone rather than jokes all over the place.

The United States Federal Communications Commission voted Thursday to repeal rules designed to protect net neutrality.

“Priyabrata Dash, editor of Crypt Bytes Tech, wrote earlier this year that the biggest threat to cryptocurrency markets is the repeal of net neutrality.”

How important is the U.S. for bitcoin? Will the U.S. devs working on bitcoin need to move or stop working on bitcoin?
