I hear you and I am still navigating through all the writings on this now.
You seem to be in the know, so allow me ...
Making the internet like a utility, will then demand that the government monitor it with their own equipment. That bothers me...is that an unecessary worry ?
While the internet can be very frustrating, it seems to me that acting as a utility with government involved will stifle the content and in fact, allow the government to make the final decision on content. Is that overstated in your opinion ?
While we do not think much about it, there IS investment in broadband and it is exchanged on the stock market. This requires individual investors putting up their money. Would, in your opinion, net neutrality squash any or all private investment ?
