I'll try not to be an overbearing libertarian here talking about how this is all the government's fault. It's not 100% clear to me and somebody else has that covered. But I do want to put one concept out there as food for thought. The FCC's mission statement (amended in 1996) is the following:

"make available so far as possible, to all the people of the United States, without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex, rapid, efficient, Nation-wide, and world-wide wire and radio communication services with adequate facilities at reasonable charges."

Net Neutrality seems to fit within the spirit of this mission statement. And yet the FCC is also in the business of censoring nipples. Do you want to risk the FCC to be in the business of censoring nipples on the Internet? I can already anticipate what people will say when that day comes. "Look, the government isn't perfect, we don't have to dismantle it, We the People just have to vote somebody into office who will speak for us and implement reasonable standards.". Ok, so when was the last time that happened to your satisfaction? Do you really want to risk having this kind of future on the prospect that reasonable people will be voted into office?

This is one reasons libertarians and certain conservatives fight tooth and nail against every increase in the scope of government, no matter how reasonable it may seem. I'm more interested in the future of mesh networking, or any number of things we haven't even thought of, to work around this sort of thing.
