I tend to view the issue of Net Neutrality much like the theory of evolution; I can’t imagine how a person can believe in the validity of the opposite perspective. Given that there is so much physical history of evolution, I don’t understand why people would believe that the world as we know it resulted from Intelligent Design. Similarly, I don’t understand why anyone would be against Net Neutrality. The telecom companies are, but this is an instance where the goals of the business as a whole do not align with the individual elements (people) making up the business. If Net Neutrality fails, the common people who work at the telecom companies will be just as disadvantaged as the rest of us; so will the people who have stock in the more profitable businesses. So in the end, maybe a few people break even at best, but no one wins. Thus, I don’t understand why anyone would be against this issue.
