Now however, do I trust this government to administer the net. Absolutely not.

Just remember it was great when they started with cable tv to incent companies to make it available to everyone and we all know how that has gone.
How do you think the net is being "administered" now? If you like the way it is working in terms of equal availability of ideas and materials, you can thank the FCC for having it that way. What is being proposed is changing the system. Again the FCC gets to make the call based on current law. You may not like the government, but regulations are essential. Or we could just let Comcast run it anyway they like. Who do you suggest administer the net? That is a serious question unless by "this government" you just mean a government with Obama as the President even when he agrees with you about net neutrality.
