At the unfortunate risk of sounding like Frank Luntz, if opponents successfully characterize net neutrality as: "regulating the Internet" -- it is feasible that we will see growing public opposition to these rules. OTOH, if supporters of net neutrality can frame the issue as something closer to: "internet freedom" -- it is equally feasible that we will see public support grow.<p>As seen in the propaganda campaign by AT&T during the T-Mobile acquisition, the corporate hand is very generous when it comes influencing legislation. Hopefully "internet freedom" will, one day, not be an issue; however, the current carrier monopolies have successfully created a regulatory climate that makes true competition an impossibility. Until real competition prevails, rules that require "internet freedom" are essential for giving entrepreneurs and small businesses a fighting chance.<p></rant>
