Thanks for the ping.

#74 mentions the Reason Foundation, so I visited their site and read this article they have up: Network Neutrality Is a Terrible Idea.

It's an interesting read.

I don't pretend to be unbiased on this topic or super well informed. I just have little trust for my cable ISP, the sole broadband provider for my area, who has behaved unethically many times in the past.

Hopefully, the explosion of broadband options that many Freepers seem to predict will truly be soon in coming, which should hopefully make all of my concerns moot.

From the article:

Enforced network neutrality will lock us into a mediocre Internet, and is more likely to slow broadband adoption than speed it. On the other hand, allowing carriers the right to create quality tiers will make the Internet better for everyone. If some applications providers have the choice to pay a little more to give customers a better experience, broadband services as a whole will have that much more of a lure.
