I never said it was a free market. Telecom is one of the most heavily regulated industries in this country. I was simply refuting your argument that there was a monopoly. Try as hard as you will, there is not a simple dichotomy of monopoly or free market. In any case, net neutrality will certainly do nothing to move the internet broadband providers toward a free market. It is a move in exactly the opposite direction.
