| Re: This is why... said by Topmounter  :...you don't want your government legislating how broadband service providers can and cannot do business. Uh, no... This would be an example of why you don't want government in the position of being a competitor within a given service space.
said by Topmounter :The concept of "Net Neutrality" may appear on the surface to be a benevolent act on the part of a government for the betterment of all, but in the end, like most things the government gets involved in, it will just end up being a thinly guised method for the government to promote their own agenda and favor their friends, stifling competition and choice. And you get this from the topic at hand, how, exactly? Sounds like you're looking for any opportunity you can find to push your own bias, whether it's relevant or not.
