After all of this reading, I begin to speculate from all sides. Try to put it all together, this giant jigsaw of legal jargon and internet mumbo jumbo that apparently holds a huge portion of the free world teetering on it's spire.
From my own perspective, Net Neutrality would be a nightmare for me, because I live in an area where there is only one ISP that provides broadband internet. There is no competition at all, so if my ISP decides that they don't agree with the sites that I condone, I have no choice but to comply; there is no option. It's their way, or the highway.
At the same time, I have to consider the innovation aspect of Net Neutrality. If laws were passed into place that demanded the ISPs to place a percentage of their money into Research and Development of data transfer, raised profits could end up benefiting humanity more in the long run. It all depends on where the money is going.
I guess I'm on the fence, along with most people reading posts on this subject. There are pros and cons to each approach, and although it would be nice to have a free ride, we have to wonder how slow progress will be if our technology is not properly funded.
