[ale] OT: FCC and ISP

[Damon L. Chesser]

Not in line as it is not directly responding, but:

I thought the Freedom Foundation and such were opposed to net 
neutrality?  But it seems that you are saying it is a good thing? I 
would think that market pressures would come to bare as they have in 
cell phone rates:  ie, who carries a contract when you can get unlimited 
for $45 and you just bring a phone?  Seems like ISPs would/could do the 
same thing.  go with an expensive network provider or go with Fred's cut 
rate one size fits all.  Just curious and checking out my understanding 
of the situation.
