What's completely missing in the "consumers" section is any discussion on the positive network externalities that come with a a highly interconnected network.<p>Without net neutrality, Comcast could simply throttle speeds to sites that compete with their own business interests (Hulu and Netflix come to mind). So sure, Comcast could make more money, and yes they could reinvest it to build out the network so we can all have 1gbps connections for $11/mo. But how good is that connection if the CEO of Comcast gets to decide which web sites we can use? If that's what consumers want, I could just set up a 1gbit connection to my next door neighbor's house and get roughly the same utility.
