Jeb, Actually, I am a fervent opponent of net neutrality because it would set a precedent for government regulation of the Internet. Eventually, regulation would lead to a chilling of free speech as it has on broadcast TV, where the stations are subject to political pressure for license renewal, and radio, where until the late ’80′s the now-lapsed Fairness Doctrine precluded talk radio. I believe that technology and free market competition will provide Jefferson’s desired “multitude of voices competing in a freewheeling marketplace of ideas” and government will only serve to prevent it as it has in the past.
