This is clearly a free market argument, cut and dry, and it is imperative to keep the government out.

This is a business matter, not a government matter. The engineers and hardware manufacturers that are coming out against this carry a little more cachet with me than these corporate giants.

Now, they want to regulate the internet because somebody else is offering a service that is better than theirs. I do not want give control over the internet just so these companies can stay on top. If they want to do something, they should stop bugging Congress and start developing new products.

First and foremost is my distaste with regulation. I find it to be bad for business and the internet. I also don't see how such regulations would actually be necessary as no one is violating net neutrality. I oppose net neutrality for many reasons. First and foremost is my distaste with regulation.

All the practicing network engineers I know oppose new regulations on the Internet. They're the people I listen to, not the Bubble-rich stock swindlers who would be in prison if the Justice Department were doing its job.
