Re: Net neutrality
It has to do with seperation of markets. ISP's are in the business of selling internet access, most of them are really big, slow-moving and cumbersome.
Do you really want them to have the power to strangle/kill any business they want on the internet; just because they found a lucrative corner of the market they want?
Also, we already occasionally see cases of some ISPs doing really weird routing (presumably to balance-load) to some specific sites causing them to be laggy and unresponsive. Any user (except the anal-retentive ones who traceroute everything) will assume it's the other end which is the problem. Voting with your pockects ain't going to work as long as nobody notices the crap they're pulling.. except the people they're pulling crap against.
