There is much talk about the need for "net neutrality" legislation. It strikes me as a solution looking for a problem that does not actually exist.
Government cannot tolerate innovation and freedom, so it seeks to control everything. Of course, this is always done under the guise of protecting the general populace, but the consequences are invariably destructive. If you trusted Obama, why would you want Trump to have such power? If you trust Trump, why would you want to risk someone like Hillary Clinton gaining such power? No, the solution is freedom.
Never trust a political solution,e specially when the alleged problem isn't even evident in the first place. If there is a problem, look for the prior government intervention that created it.
What are the economic incentives that reward an ISP for preventing access to portions of the web? Why would it be bad for an ISP to offer priority access to certain services? Look at matters in depth, rather than through superficial paranoid fearmongering. Always ask who benefits, and how newfound political powers could be abused. Last but not least, remember whose lobbyists invariably write the legislation.
