Daniel Berninger has written an excellent piece on the broader implications of net neutrality, over at GigaOm today.
It's worth printing and taking your time your time with this relatively dense analysis, but, here's a couple sentences that struck me as especially dead-on.
Does anyone believe government should grant public assets to private entities for private purposes? The loss of net neutrality changes the terms under which the Bells enjoy access to right-of-way. The non-neutral private network deployments associated with the Bell company broadband offers look like the non-common carrier networks of the cable companies.
It's a big long to print on a t-shirt but it's a damn good point.
