Don't be fooled: Net neutrality is about more than just blocking and throttling::The net neutrality debate has huge implications beyond the reductive "blocking and throttling" buzzwords that ISPs use to characterize it.

Good points here. I mostly agree. Just wanted to mention one counter point. Having it as utility might not be so great. It stunts growth. I mean when did any utility service ever made a great innovative improvement. It has no incentive to improve. It just exists. Also, they are more regulated by government.

I want net neutrality for other reasons, but stopping them from diverting traffic is on my lowest priority.
