When I can choose between 7 ISP's, /then/ the 'competition' argument might fly. The US broadband market is horrible next to what it could be, and everyone with their head on straight knows it. Net neutrality, FTW!

"there has been no concrete proof of a widespread discrimination problem" is a lot like:
"We don't need a sprinkler system because the entire building has yet to burn". Now, if our elected reps could just learn to give the consumer half the protection they give their own saleries..........nahhhhh...never happen.

ISP's Market Fair? lol!

I'm SURE the grand total of THREE major ISP's will act in the 'net's and the consumer's best interest. Why would they gag competition and charge all the market will bare just to maximize profits for shareholders?! If the U.S. is number 20 in Internet penetration and service in REAL bandwidth delivered worldwide why should we expect any improvement? Net Neutrality? We can't have an unfettered communication and information system unless the last dollar is squeezed. But we can have plenty of IPTV from the providers! He who has the money wins. Before the game begins.
