What? The side writing the rules gains everything. The politicians will get nice kickbacks from the companies they end up favoring. They will have control and surveillance of all content, which is all they really want.
There are 5 people on the FCC board, which is the one writing this. 3 democrats, 2 republicans, all of which confirmed by the senate. They aren't going to gain anything.
The congressmen and women who were trying to get a law passed before the FCC had a chance to do this were trying to do so because of they were getting lobbied (read: paid) by the ISPs who stood to benefit from Net Neutrality getting squashed.
