There are things about Net Neutrality I do not understand. Wouldn't true net
neutrality be a boon for spammers? Why should a user of internet services
not pay for the resources used? Some people just have more money than
others, and why should they not be allowed to get better service if they are
willing to pay for it? I do hope, however, that there will be no price
discrimination. That is already in the nations anti-trust laws.
Unfortunately, those laws are not well enforced.

The band width on the net increases every year - charging for band width
use and content requires sophisticated and expensive equipment.

I also think it won't be just consumer-end bandwidth but provider-end
bandwidth...The greedy ones behind the proposal are very jealous of Google's
success and want to get a piece of their action.

My current analogy is that 2 businesses close a multi-million dollar deal
over the phone and the telco steps in and says that they want a percentage
of that deal because they provided the wire that allowed the deal to be
finally consummated.
