Net Neutrality doesn't "ensure that it's possible for twitter et al to be overthrown by an upstart who gets a level playing field wrt Internet traffic." Twitter/FB/Google don't need ISP's to build barriers to entry, they already have networks effects. At best it takes away a rather unlikely method of reducing competition for twitter. IMO, its more likely the ISP's try to extort cash from the web monopolies than accept cash to quash their competitors. If Twitter really paid ISP's to block competitive services they'd get anti-trust sued into oblivion.
