We either need more or less. If the ISP's government granted local monopolies were dissolved we wouldn't need net neutrality because the free market would do its job.

> ISP's government granted local monopolies

This really needed to be part of the public discourse. It is a component which received little attention. However, it is quite typical IMHO. Government creates a problem for itself to solve. Infinite recursion then ensues.

Meh, I like to think of it like my other utilities. They're, in a lot of cases, monopolies granted by government, but they seem to work fairly well in most places.

Allowing corporations to benefit from natural monopolies without regulating them is just a bad idea.

If you're in the business of selling glass, go out and break some windows.

The "deregulation" of Ajit Pai's FCC is just picking winners. It's hands massive market advantage to an oligopoly of telecom companies at the expense of everyone else.

All markets are constructed. Markets constructed by self-professed "deregulators" seem to be particularly skewed and corrupt.

Yup. Regulations to make things better for their, and all Internet users.

Yeah, it is wonderful, isn't it?
