Comcast isn’t restricting anyone or anything, but you have Netflix making millions of dollars while Comcast [and other cable companies] foot the bill...

If comcast charges Netflix more money for the brandwidth that THEIR customers use, they will increase the monthly charge to THEIR customers and those who are not using all of the additional bandwidth will not have to carry the costs...

I hate to admit it, but the big moron has finally said something I might agree with. There should be just enough “neutrality” on the net to keep Comcast (or any other ISP) from putting Neflix, Vonage, or other emerging competitors out of business.

Precisely. Millions of Americans live where there's a single choice for broadband internet: a gov't-granted monopoly cable company.
