The problem with phone and cable service (and electric, gas, water and sewage, etc.) is that they are natural monopolies. There are some businesses that are just not well-suited to competition. In the case of utilities it is the need to construct infrastructure that is the problem. We don't want three different sets of phone lines run down the same street by three different companies. That is too expensive. The best way to deal with a natural monopoly is through regulation.

However, my concern about "net neutrality" is that it will somehow be co-opted into something approaching the fairness doctrine. Example, what if, when you Googled "NRA", you got the Brady Center instead, with the NRA's website buried three pages later? That is the sort of garbage that I fear from all of this.
