This is why anyone who wants advances and additional services over the Internet (especially ala carte Video/Movies/Sports) will be OPPOSED to anything that even obliquely references "Net Neutrality".

There are no service levels on the Internet because those who need them for the conduct of their business are not allowed to pay extra for it and the ISP's are not allowed to offer it for sale.

If they could the tradition telephone and cable TV business would be dead overnight.

I’ll make you a deal, I’ll stop talking about net neutrality, if you start pushing against the monopolies in the internet industry. Are monopolies in line with you capitalist ideals? Why complain about Net neutrality, but not about monopolies?

Give people the choice, and some can pick to get shafted by these new consumer restrictions, and others can choose a telco that does things the way it’s always been done. Then let the market decide. Oh that’s right, we can’t, so we have the monopolies shafting customers by charging more and delivering less.

Pro-capitalism my hairy arse.
