re: Goodbye Net Neutrality; Hello Competition

Net neutrality does absolutely nothing to encourage OR discourage competition, I believe there will be more competition with LESS government interference or regulation. Big companies like at&t, Verizon, Comcast etc have benefited more from the regulation than any start up or smaller company. Government regulation will never encourage innovation thus the repeal of NN and further de-regulation of the industry will help move technology along quicker.
And again, my point is based on rural internet availability or lack of, and the HOPE that more competition will be good for everyone.

The existing telecom companies heavily supported the repeal. That tells me that they see a comparative advantage in a world without NN. So how can you say that NN does not encourage or discourage innovation?

This isn't true at all.. setting regulatory standards can foster innovation. Detailing how something must technically be done stifles innovation, though.
Getting rid of anti-competitive legislation passed to protect ISPs from competition would be a great start. It's got to happen on the local level and until then competition will be choked out.. which is why NN principles are important as a temporary consumer protection.

Is that why those big companies cried about the NN rules until they got the repeal they wanted?
