Sorry, no dice. Please think of logic and examples that would be able to explain how the Internet has flourished to this point and then will 'stagnate' (for lack of better all-encompassing word).

Is it me, or has any market that involves the Internet been pushing the limits of quality and bandwidth with everything still being Net Neutral? When the big tech gurus decide it is time to end the neutrality, then perhaps I will start to think otherwise, but the only people who want it removed are the same companies that would profit the most.

You are a liar and a corporate shill. People are smarter than you realize.

"Socialist diktat..." "rationing..." "Orwell..."

This article is a joke. And what a surprise that Mr. Kessler is former hedge fund manager. Now there is a business that really takes seriously ideas about fair distribution of resources.

The net neutrality supporters are so wrongheaded that Comcast has to pay shills to fill seats at public FCC hearings so that their socialist ideas are shut out.

The internet is neutral right now. Its the only media today that is. If people knew the history of how print and radio media was changed from being neutral to being monopolized by a few corporations, this argument will be see for what it is - a way for capital to regulate speech. The language used by these corporate hacks is grossly misleading. Why call net neutrality "regulation". All neutrality does is prevent money from influencing what information we all have access to. They are the ones "regulating" speech. They pretend that government is this monstrous entity out to get us. Government is about the people. Big business interests don't give a crap about the people AND they control government now. What they are trying to do is regulation. What the net neutrality movement aims for is to de-regulate free speech. Watch this video and listen to Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the internet, tell us what's at stake here:

The economic engine produces a little and people are happy.
Somebody gets hurt by the economic engine and people want the engine fixed.
After being "fixed" the engine produces less and people complain.
After being "fixed" again the engine produces even less and the people complain.
Nobody really knows how the engine works but no one will admit it.
Someone clears away some of the fixes, but slowly, at great cost.
Go to the first line.

Sorry for chiming in so late. Net neutrality is not only good for the competition but will drive the creativity online. If ISPs become the cops controlling the traffic on the web then this new medium will be doomed.
