The "let websites subsidize users" meme is a red herring. Net neutrality is about killing competition in the consumer sector and further consolidating the corporate multimedia monopolies. No net neutrality = no competition in the ISP space; any new ISP has to build out a parallel network all the way to a fair ISP. Net neutrality is what guarantees that peered traffic is fairly prioritized. My first apartment was wired and run by an 8 man startup that operated a few contiguous apartment complexes. They connected the complexes to Comcast but dealt with all the last-mile (last block?) issues... but here's the kicker, Comcast also offered services in the area. My ISP only existed because Comcast was required to fairly prioritize their traffic. Without net neutrality, that ISP's traffic would have been deprioritized by Comcast.
