I can't speak to what ISP's want and I do not know what is truly going on here. But, from my vantage point I get the sense there's open warfare going on between these companies. Everyone is using their pipes on the internet and in Washington, trying to knock the others off their game. Net neutrality appears to be one side's weapon in the war. The fact that net neutrality might work in my favor may just be accidental.
I can speak to what I want. I want to be charged for service. If the ISP's aren't charging me enough to make the money they need to make off the service they provide to me, I want them to charge me more. And, if they get too greedy, then let a competitor try to come in and charge me a bit less for similar services.
What I'm saying is basically let the market do its thing. It can't do its thing if we have these ISP's unfairly using their position to snipe at competing companies' streams flowing over their pipes. It's not transparent, and they're going to double-dip anyways - charging me AND the popular websites for using their pipes.
What I'm saying is basically we can't have the market do its thing when ISP's are allowed to be more than a dumb pipe and a host for near caches.
