We haven't had government mandated net "neutrality" for the past 20 years and I've yet to see anything like that pop up. Lets keep the government out of it and let the two sides duke it out. Seems like it would be a poor

No gang of government bureaucrats will produce the same results at a lower cost than lots of people with the profit motive. The US Government spent $3,000,000,000 trying to map the human genome. Celera spent one tenth that much to do the sa
