In general, I don't think legislation ever helps. The political meat grinder perverts a grassroots call for sanity into more red tape that supports the incumbents' status quo. Keep in mind that the large companies you might be tempted to say would support net neutrality are actually incumbents and would love to keep competition from springing up, especially if they were based on compelling non-http technologies.

If you think otherwise, please take my first point and run with it. I personally think the only way forward is to get more encrypted peer-talking traffic-indistinguishable apps into more people's day-to-day use. Then there's an actual market demand for real Internet access.



agree. while people may sometimes have valid concerns, its the chain of reasoning that leads to proposed ways of addressing those concerns that often isn't grounded in realistic economics.
