There are plenty of antitrust laws already on the books. Having the DOJ enforce them would be the correct route, as opposed to creating additional, unnecessary NN regulation which would effectively cement the ISP monopolies.
- shmerl 2y agoI agree in theory, but in practice, anti-trust laws only become more and more toothless with time so this isn't getting any better. I don't agree about cementing monopolies, it's the opposite. Net neutrality beats anti-competitive practices back, because as above, regular competition law got almost useless and not applied to solve these issues de-facto. If competition law enforcement will improve - there won't be a need for separate net neutrality rules. Problem is that opponents of net neutrality don't want competition law enforcement either, so they want to have their anti-competitive cake and eat it unchecked.
