I just think that by the time technology catches up to where we don't need it, we can repeal it then.

I still don't see how NN inhibits innovation though. That argument I don't get.

So much this. The "muh free market" types seem to labor under the delusion that NN is some kind of barrier to entry for firms wanting to get into the ISP business, and that without it, there will suddenly be all kinds of competition. Considering that NN has literally zero impact on restraining new ISP's from popping up, those posters have zero legs to stand on.

Sometimes, there are less trustworthy firms than the government. It's not very often that the government does something right, but every now and again, some level of federal government regulation of the market is not only desired, but vital.
