Net neutrality has nothing whatsoever to do with the government “policing” the internet.

Another straw man argument from someone who is either terribly naive about the wonders of the “market,” or else is one of those paid apparatchiks of the telco astroturf organizations created to swamp the public discourse with a blizzard of misinformation.

Unfortunately, based on previous experience, I would tend to guess to the latter option.

All this about keeping the government from limiting “competition” is simply contravened by facts on the ground, when the number of ISPs who can compete for your business has dwindled to near handfuls from the early days of internet services, most of which have been wiped out by the few huge conglomerates who leverage their size and position in order to dominate internet operations.

If you want the internet to operate like cable TV services, than oppose net neutrality. If you want it to continue to operate along the lines that is has developed under, then support it. It’s the simplest way one can describe an admittedly complicated situation (of which USTV Media is repository of ample info and discussion on which you can find throughout our “Media and Democracy” section).
