Another key graf from the article.

“Net-neutrality advocates demanding to have the Internet regulated as a public utility should explain the source of their faith in big government. The rest of us understand the clear lesson of history: Granting bureaucrats control over the Internet would undermine the world’s greatest engine of innovation.”

The term “net neutrality” tells me all I want to know about this issue now coming to the fore before the Congress and the federal gubmint.

I’ve become an expert on leftist codespeak.

“Net neutrality” is codespeak if I’ve ever seen or heard it. We can always assume any phrase coined by the left means exactly the opposite of what it says.

Kinda like “planned withdrawal”.....or “affirmative action”.

“Net neutrality” rests upon the fallacy that infrastructure and content companies are naturally at odds; that competition and customer service require political force.

“Net neutrality” is like requiring grocery stores to charge all customers by the grocery cart rather than by the items in the cart. So customers with a cart full of steaks and and those buying a quart of milk and a loaf of bread pay exactly the same price. Ain’t socialism grand?
