Net Neutrality in a Nutshell

I see the WaPo gave real estate in today’s paper to a couple of conservative flacks to “explain” the current politics of a further sell-off of the electromagnetic spectrum, and, naturally, they’re saying that net neutrality is “a bad idea”. Of course, it’s only a bad idea for people who want to gouge profits out of a system that, paid for and developed by our taxes and user innovation, has flourished under net neutrality. If there’s one thing these “free-market” types hate, it’s the idea of having to compete in the market as it is rather than having the rules jimmied to give them an unfair advantage.
