If access rates are so onerous to "large" corporations, let them invest the capital to build thier own infrastructure.
Put it this way... if the only choice you have is dial-up and a cable modem from your local provider, and your local provider decides that too many people are using Amazon.com and as a result Amazon is using too much bandwidth and they start reducing Amazon's bandwidth, don't come crying to me. Because without net neutrality that scenario will be repeated 100 times over. That's what this is all about, keeping the playing field level.

And once again, I find so-called "conservatives" bleating for government intervention to "level the playing field" to be highly ironic.
Net neutrality is about making sure that corporate entities like Microsoft and Google have government-protected access to infrastructure they didn't have to pay for. It is corporate welfare.
Like other socialists, you have mistaken Internet access as a "right." Net neutrality is the CFR of corporate regulation.
