The issue with net neutrality is not to do with market share but to do with the fact that many of the telecommunication companies have exclusive monopolies in their areas often with government mandates.
In addition they were given large sums of money by the government to implement certain styles of networks that were never implemented.
Then they also have alternative revenue streams (e.g. comcast provides television, qwest phone). These alternative revenue streams are often in competition with services that are on the internet (e.g. hulu, and skype).
So they are guaranteed their places by government assistance and they have conflicts of interest. This is why we need net neutrality.
