"My frustration is that if my position were to prevail it would not increase the likelihood that the nightmare scenario I used earlier of Comast charging $15 to access Netflix coming about, whereas your positon does." <--- In a decentralized, deregulated market, you can't claim to know the likelihood of anything. That said, we have a couple hundred of years government regulation to see that as the regulations increase so too does the number of monopolies, cost of goods, and the extreme decrease of innovation.
"then why the extreme efforts to reverse the policy in the face of overwhelming public opposition?" <--- Just because something has overwhelming support does not mean an idea is a good one. And many laws have been implemented or removed in the face of overwhelming support or opposition.
"But the here and now (specifically tomorrow) does not change the fact that ISPs have regional monopolies" <--- So why not work to solve that instead of support a law that also gives the FCC the ability to censor content as well as regulate the internet?
"The ISPs without question are the only industy sector that will immediately reap the overwhelming benefits from getting rid of net neutrality; those benefits are maximizing revenue and profit generation from their network" <--- That's a good thing. We want companies to succeed so they spend money on jobs and innovation. And once people finally get around to blaming their local government they'll finally have the competition they so want.
Net Neutrality was government propaganda in favor of government regulation. I'm so grateful they repealed it. But I have no delusions that the next time the political pendulum swings that the FCC will reinstate it. My only hope is that people are willing to go after their local government and repeal those onerous laws before they do so... making the propagandic need for Net Neutrality mercilessly moot (although that's like asking government to shrink itself).
