--- Quote ---The problem is that net neutrality is essentially a price control, and as with all price controls, sooner or later there will be shortages.
In fact, the entire reason we currently have a duopoly in this country is because of government regulations like this. Barriers to entry on things like cable lines have made the ISP industry extremely non competitive and very hard to get into.
So we would just be trying to solve a problem that regulation created with further regulation and as an economist I can't sign off on this.

Foxscotch:
net neutrality doesn't place any burden on an ISP
if anything, it avoids the small burden of prioritizing certain traffic

Have you guys seen that guy's wannabe-mean-tweets video? i swear i've never seen anyone as disgustingly smug before in my life since the face of that guy who tried to raise the price of antiparasitic medication 4000%
