"Net Neutrality" is something the market enforces by choosing to buy it.

When Congress speaks of it they redefine it to a sort of looter scheme that stifles more than it enhances.

The Internet has been relatively free of that sort of government interference, but this administration aims to change that.

You were saying ...

"Net Neutrality" is something the market enforces by choosing to buy it.

Well..., not in this case, when the government goes further in the control of the Internet. As some have already voiced concern about, in that there will be controls over "content" and that's what Net Neutrality will help address along with some strong legal language, specifically relating to this kind of bill and the Internet infrastructure, in which "content" won't be what is regulated, but rather danger to the infrastructure, itself, in terms of attacks.

As I said before, by not dealing with Net Neutrality before and getting it passed, it simply sets one up for the present case where more than infrastructure will be "restricted" but also the type of content will be restricted.
