I typically don't like government involvement, either, but in cases of massive infrastructure it can be necessary.

its only required b.c we made it required.

I think I understand SFP's argument, its - let's remove net neutrality b.c gov't involvement is bad and if we remove all gov't involvement, it will get better. This is fine from an academic perspective but its not fine from a practical perspective. If we had actual competition in chosing ISPs, net neutrality wouldnt matter b.c those who failed to offer it would get killed in the market place. But we don't, we are stuck with one or two options in most markets.

And gov't is not going to remove the other barriers, in fact, they are creating more of them.

we don't know that, yet

my argument is to see how this affects the market and then make the policy decision. we have the N/N market example. we don't have a non-N/N market example to compare to. we can't really evaluate the 2 policies without data from both policies
