I don't have to penetrate into the labyrinthine fever-swamps of bureaucratese that no doubt swirl around this debate to know exactly what will be its outcome:

  1. a tax on internet traffic,
  2. control of political speech on the internet,

Each will start off very small, but within five or ten years will become the dominant characteristics of the internet ecosystem.

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.”
