Right now it might be true that it is in the best interest for ISP to not restrict access to particular content. This may not be true down the road. It won't be true if the ISPs form a cartel.
ISPs may decide that it is best to be content with their percent of the market and instead of competing with each other to gain market share it's better to nickel and dime consumers.
The cost of legislating net neutrality is quite low and the consequences of cartel pricing are quite damaging. Therefore it makes sense to regulate now rather than later.

How about some supporting evidence? For example, is it necessarily true that regulation now will be benign to good as opposed to extremely harmful? Or, are you suggesting that this is a case that govt will do well? If so, why?
