Here is how this works for me...the phone company is the only game in town for hte most part. There are options now, thankfully, but for a while, that was IT...now..the family who owned the phone company also owned the cable company and denied even MTV from being seen in this city..M..T..V. until 2004 i think... Net neutrality would allow this company to simply refuse to let any traffic through from any site it deemed inappropriate..I'm surprised they haven't already and i'm not sure if they didn't try and th backlash was so stiff that they just gave up....
so to put neutrality into law..i can't see a downside here, even if you hate the gov't. The net relies on its ability to level the playing field so the little guy has just as much access as th big guy. it's pretty simple.
