NET NEUTRALITY: A REAL CONCERN OR LIBERAL SCHEMING?
The internet is not the product of the telcos, or of any corporate capitalist entity. It was a very successful government project: pure socialism. Let's give it its due! Like the Post Office, it aspires to universal, and not just the most profitable, service. "Net neutrality" is the status quo; we can't draw any conclusions from current service about the "harmlessness" of dispensing with it. The internet has a history of brilliant innovation; the telcos don't. I think we'd be crazy as citizens to tamper with an overwhelmingly successful distribution model, and give up the only mass medium with a fair and level playing field.
