re: Net neutrality devil's advocate

This isn't about liberal or conservative, it's about avoiding this:
Beyond limiting access to what you're allowed to see, it throttling websites to make them unusable. By forcing companies to pay money to be in a fast lane, it will hurt innovation by small start ups. Only the current big companies will be sure to afford the fees.
And I know a lot of conservatives who are anti MSM. What happens when NBC (Comcast) blocks Beirtbart or Infowars? CNN is owned by Time Warner. What happens if they start slowing down bandwidth to Fox News? What if someone wrote an anti Comcast blog post, and they straight up censor it and won't allow access?
If you're concerned about MSM and censorship, they're all same companies.
There's a reason 88% of the country is in favor of net neutrality.

I go to their competitor.
Fyi, that pricing picture, while fake, is cheaper than I pay for internet right now.

Hum... why don't we have TV neutrality? Why do I have to buy packages? Why can't I just tune to a specific channel and contract with that channel directly like I do with Netflix? Why does the cable company get to charge those channels for "fast lanes" (paired with the good packages)?

If every isp followed that protocol, I could see it becoming a problem. However, there would probably be some isp's that are eager for new customers and would not would not do this.
In addition, the "large" corporations would probably have an issue trying to pay every isp to speed up their content.
With that said, I do not see the harm in making sure it does not happen.
