I've thought pretty much the same thing since first learning about the Net Neutrality debate. Regulation is a very dangerous thing, and ironically seems most dangerous when it's the most "objective". It turns into barriers to entry for smaller entrants quite quickly, and is worst in a field where a few players have gotten to a good position, and seek to hold off challengers. Regulation might be optimal in a truly static situation (say, water utilities), but in a highly dynamic environment, you can get some very unintended consequences.
