It is what tyranny has tried to do since the dawn of mankind, and always will - control the distribution of information.

True, just don't think it's a new issue, or that it's related to net neutrality. As related to licensing of printers, think of it as a rule that roads must allow any printed materials to be transported upon them as long as the regular toll is paid.

If you're going to use that analogy, then admit the heaviest users of roads pay the most in tolls. In the case across most of the US, the toll is extracted via fuel taxes. More miles traveled = more fuel = more taxes = more tolls.

Ergo, bandwidth users should pay a scalable rate for usage.
