And let's be clear: I'm not interested in whether the ISP is for or against the rules. This is about ME and MY needs, ok? Does this increase the likelihood that one of the big boys will buy them out/force them out of business, thus causing me to need to care about this?

Yeah I'm talking much more rural than WS.

And no, the repea of net neutrality lowers the likelihood of being bought out as they are better able to operate without scale. But obviously net neutrality is not the only factor there.
