Yes, competition would be nice. And you won't find a single NN proponent who would be opposed to increasing competition. But you know what? That's a completely orthogonal argument. Because we do not currently live in a world with that level of competition, and repealing NN would do absolutely nothing to change that. Not an iota. The world we currently live in, is one where the vast majority of Americans have access to maybe one or two broadband providers. There is no competition. You can argue why that is, but in reality, it doesn't matter. There is not competition, and there won't be for quite some time. So if you repeal NN now, you repeal NN in that anti-competitive environment. There is nothing preventing the things that you claim won't happen, but have absolutely nothing but the "good faith" of the ISPs to go on. You want to increase competition. We all do. But please don't make the mistake of repealing NN before that happens. It will do nothing but strengthen the incumbent ISPs, making it that much harder to compete with them. Instead, work for policies like Local Loop Unbundling, or municipal broadband. Then, after we've created a competitive market, then look at NN.
