The last-mile monopoly that Comcast/Time-Warner/etc have effectively guts the argument of “letting the market decide”. If I want high speed internet service to my house, I have no choice - I must use Comcast and I have to pay the price they charge.

I don't see the need for this "Net Neutrality" legislation.

In my community, we have a choice of at least a dozen providers: cable, phone line, cellular network A, cellular network B, satellite service of the phone company, plus several other satellite services. Even in a remote rural area, you would have several of those options.

I don't see the need to tie down the providers, except, of course, to achieve state control over the Internet.

As was posted earlier, this is about getting Drudge and controlling conservative blogs.
