How realistic is that? Do you really think that there will be enough providers out there to combat censorship and to allow the smaller sites access to the same resources as the big money sites? The companies will collude and startups and places like FR will end up on the slow lane for each and everyone. Maybe some will choose to slowdown different sites but either way you’ll see the internet increasingly becoming a place dominated by an ever shrinking number of sites and thats bad for everyone.

Where do you think censorship comes from? The free market or government? Net Neutrality puts power in the hands of a bigger government and at the control of unelected buerocrats? Governments ALWAYS grow power, regulation, taxation and enforcement. Giving the government the power to tell a private company what they can or can not do with the assets they have will soon have us seeing even greater government censorship.

The FCC did not stop at radio waves, no they went on to censor TV. Remember the fairness doctrine? Who put that in place? Was it private industry or government? Now you want to put the camel’s nose under the tent by allowing the FCC to say what traffic private property owners can carry? How long do you think the FCC will want to wait before they start wanting to regulate the content of that traffic?
