Allocation of scarce bandwidth is what government is about in the ‘net neutrality’ scam. Think allocation of broadcast spectrum since radio was invented.

The antidote to that is more bandwidth to alleviate the scarcity. To do that private capital must be employed to build more capacity. And for capital to flow toward its best use, the market must not be government controlled.

It would help if you didn't misrepresent net neutrality. The need exists regardless of bandwidth. The attempt to destroy it only uses "scarce bandwidth" as an excuse to throw up tollbooths on the Internet and cabelize it even when bandwidth isn't scarce. ISPs already get paid a lot of money by their subscribers to build out their networks, and they receive tax breaks, subsidies and grants to do it too.
