> I'd rather trust economic incentives to keep Internet free than political incentives I don't trust economic incentives at all... The internet and cable industry is notorious for their frivolous price grabs and there's a lot of money to be made playing gatekeeper to something hundreds of millions of people use every day. In your example the customer wants something new, and the ISP has the economic incentive of providing it because they can charge a premium. What happens when this same incentive is placed on all other services... especially services you enjoy currently. Oh your Netflix/HBO Now is slow? Well that's because you don't have the Xfinity Online Streaming Package which is an extra $18.99/month. Hey, the people wanted faster streaming speeds right? This is just economic incentive.
