Not Wrong

BellSouth isn't going to target only Florida and Tennessee YouTube users.

Cox isn't going to filter Craigslist via an optional third-party security suite nobody likes.

Neither is going to outright block content while they're busy spending millions fighting net-neutrality laws. These execs are not stupid men. Myopic and greedy maybe, but not stupid.

They will wait until the legal debate is settled in their favor, then they will employ more subtle de-prioritization approaches.

Crying wolf to instances that clearly aren't intentional net-neutrality violations will only make it easier for lobbyists and PR firms to paint advocates as crackpots.

You mean advocates like Silicon Valley Watcher & IP Democracy? I think there is no dearth of crackpot net neutrality advocates out there to be used as examples by telco lobbyists.
