Re: Why I am Opposed to Net Neutrality

"Net neutrality" is a term few can agree on.

There is a perfectly good definition of net neutrality: everyone who gets the same service pays the same price for it. Particularly if one of the bodies is a subsidiary of the telco or cableco. A lot of us have well-founded concerns that the telcos will make sweetheart deals with themselves like they did with DSL, with the wholesale price to everyone else somehow being more than the retail price their own affiliate charges.

I don't think anyone except perhaps Verizon, AT&T, and Qwest would object to this kind of requirement. Too bad there's such a huge and needless fog around what should be a straightforward pro-competition policy.
