And so called Market Forces within the telecomm industry are nonexistent since they've always been regulatory whores who scream for regulation when it benefits them and against them when it doesn't. Every country which has successful broadband deployment shares ONE regulation which we lack, but which was in place when the internet was born-- Local Loop Unbundling. The Telecomms fought against it and won, and now there IS NO COMPETITION. And now they want us to give them billions more to build the network we already gave them billions to build? As I've said elsewhere, it's time for US citizens, taxpayers and the US politicians to stop bending over for the Telecomms. We NEED net neutrality.

Without competition, content is controlled. No, net neutrality will hurt what it is intended to protect. Ron Paul was right to vote against this. You are right connecting with others and sharing information are important. So is the freedom to trade worldwide. Only then can we interact in a 21st century democracy, a democracy based on freedom.
