Free-dom May Not be the Way to Go

The internet is freedom. Anonymity and information on demand provide for one of the purist forms of anarchy on the planet. As a classic libertarian I enjoy the internet and the freedom that it provides and promotes. When I first heard about "net neutrality" I felt as though it was an easy policy decision for me. The internet should remain free. However, "net neutrality" goes against that freedom. The idea behind net neutrality is that the internet should be an open network where everyone is the same and can work at the same speed. Some companies want to offer various services such as guaranteed delivery or higher speeds for a price. Many feel that this will create two internets and limit the creativity that the internet was founded on.

We need to remember that it was innovation that created internet and innovation must continue for it to be a success. Faster speeds, guaranteed delivery and other innovations (even if they cost money) will maintain this innovation on the internet. Maitaining a free enviroment on the internet is what we need. Regulating the internet with "net neutrality" is not.
