Wow. This post was so frustrating that I actually clicked out of my Google Reader tab--a rarity--so I could come leave a lone comment in dissension, saying how you had everything completely backwards, and that regulation and enforced monopoly was *halting* innovation. And further, that Net Neutrality is a Trojan Horse concept, sounding like a panacea to geeks at the endpoints, so long as they don't think too deeply about its devastating, innovation-destroying consequences for the network. But instead, I'm heartened by the number of your responders who clearly get it, so I'm going to go back to Google Reader to enjoy the rest of my day.
