What affect would net neutrality have on increasing competition? I am deeply skeptical that it would have a good impact and strongly suspect that any regulation created would be designed to reduce competition.
See airline regulation which did a lot of things and had a lot of goals but ended up being used by the industry to keep new players out of the market place.
