Availability of a service in a specific place has what to do with free market? If it becomes "unusable" due to this throttling (that most people still have yet to understand), there will be alternative services that step in and fill the void. Net neutrality will die in DC, repeatedly, because the Constitution and all the Amendments work as designed to protect capitalism, private competition, and rights.
Good job completely ignoring everything that's being said.

How can alternative services "step up to fill the void" if they can't afford the fees to connect in? Telecommunications companies spent many many more billions of dollars in merging (eg, monopolizing) rather than expanding. Fewer companies means it's harder for startups to do competetive business.
Net Neutrality won't die in DC "because the Consititution and all Amendments work as designed". It will die in DC because people fail to encourage it. When the Constitution was written, it was written for the rights of the people, not for the "rights" of capitalism.
