Thinking about Net Neutrality

I think the technology infrastructure is as important to our nation as our network of interstates and highways. The federal government subsidies the construction and upkeep of our highways, I think they should consider kicking in to the telecomm companies to help support the technology upkeep (if a review warrants this support. I am not convinced the telecomm providers really need govt support but an independent evaluation should be conducted to determine need.) I think net neutrality is too important to leave up to the goodwill of the telecomm companies. (Especially since they have shown they manipulate data rates when allowed to do so. See Comcast Lawsuit. The telecomm companies need to be regulated - they have too much to gain by improving their service and messing with their competitor's service to be trusted (fox and the hen house.)
