Since I have to go through this every fricking time, here goes nothing.

ISP have a created a patchwork of state and local laws which distort and destroy the free market for internet service. These big government policies at the state and local level have hugely benefited the ISPs at the cost of the customer.

Net neutrality is a regulation, which is generally a bad thing is not necessarily bad where there is no free market to destroy in the first place.

This is worth repeating.

Repealing net neutrality and leaving the monopolies in place at the local and state levels is beyond retarded.

Net neutrality was a reaction to corruption at the state and local levels being bought off by big telecoms.

The GOP needs to leave net neutrality the frick alone.
