"Net neutrality is about the notion of 'common carriage:' an economic principle that goes back to shipping, railroads, and trucking. These industries tend to coalesce into just a few competitors. If you add vertical integration on top of that - if UPS and Federal Express start competing with Amazon and L.L. Bean, and give their own mail order operations favored freight terms - It's a Bad Thing. Competition suffers.

"Same thing when ISPs decide to offer their own content services and give them better network transport than they give Google."
