local and state regulation and franchise agreements---the practice that these hysterical net neutrality proponents should really be fighting.
They never admit this is the issue.
They just say more regulation will fix everything.

Please show me three people who have said that in support of NN.
Because I remember multiple people loudly yelling, with an occurance WITHIN this thread, that the problem is the removal of regulations without the concurrent removal of their monopolies.
And spare us the melodrama of it being big bad local government. While I’m sure that’s the case in places, and corruption and manlipulation on others, fundamentally the problem is how aggressively they will fight to protect their fiefdoms.
They are NOT above going to to the state level to legally force local governments to bend to their will.
And absent provisions to control shite like that, you need LIGHT regulation to help protect consumers.
For fricks sake, being forced to treat the transportation of a given quantity of data along a given path the same regardless of contents is NOT a business ball breaker.

Local and state regulations are absolutely the issue. You know what's a really good solution to the problem that can address the issue in every single state? The federal government setting a standard and then employing a light-touch regulatory scheme inside that box. It's unrealistic to expect the states or 19.5k different municipalities to undo the problems they created when they allowed something very close to a natural monopoly.
You talk about liberty.. where is the liberty in the Verizon argument claiming that there customers do not have 1st amendment rights when accessing content through Verizon services?
