Henry says I'm wrong to think this net neutrality issue is a no-brainer and then proceeds to outline one of the many reasons it is, in fact, a no-brainer.
I like the commenter at Drum's place who calls it "Medicare Plan D for the internet" which is possibly not so far off.
More generally this is a telco lobbyist written bill being run through a Republican congress without much public discussion pushed by people like known steward of the public good Dick Armey.
I'm sure one can concoct some technical explanations why some fantasy change to net neutrality could be a good thing, but that's not what's going to happen here. One could also propose some fantasy change to Social Security which could be a good thing, but all that does is play into the hands of those who will, in fact, be making the change. And killing the internets.
