Several news sites are reporting that Donald Trump is looking to elevate Ajit Pai to head up the FCC:
Ajit Pai, a Republican Federal Communications Commission member and foe of net neutrality regulation, will be named to head the agency, according to a person familiar with the transition.
Pai has often dissented as FCC Democrats voted for tighter regulations, including the 2015 open internet, or net neutrality, decision that forbids internet service providers from unfairly blocking or slowing web traffic. The rule opposed by AT&T Inc. and Comcast Corp. is among those likely to be reversed by president Donald Trump's FCC, according to Bloomberg Intelligence analysts.

I see. So now you are down to wishful thinking.
Lets say your wishes were horses.
And that it actually does work that way for the 800lb gorilla that is netflix.
What about the thousands of other small companies that don't have enough of a customer base to exercise this supposed leverage?

The original statement you started arguing with explicitly stated they may very well not do it, slappy. Pay more attention.
And keep it straight: my wishes are fishes.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
