Let's say the net neutrality move fails; the incumbents start their tiered pricing. Everyone starts complaining. How long before someone tries to remove the regulatory hurdles that are in place that are the primary reason the big guys are the big guys?

If the providers charge sites a "toll" for a faster pipe, I'm not sure youtube, for example, would have ever made it. I still haven't heard a good reason to be opposed to it.

Because the data pipe providers own the pipe, and should be able to do what they want with it. Of course, plenty of people don't think that's a good reason.

If I take all of your resources, my fledgling business has a better chance to make it. I haven't heard a good reason to oppose my taking all your resources.
