Do you perfer or oppose net neutrality?

Question

NN is another issue in which we deal with the contrast and conflict between social liberties and economic freedoms. Both sides make sense in how my rights end where yours begin, but is that really the right approach for the question?

After all, companies provide services that are used by consumers and should be able to regulate the net's usage by price as they feel fit. Nobody's perfect though and shouldn't the net be a public asset available freely to everyone; not to be regulated by any governing body or financial institution?

Then there's the idea that people shouldn't complain and instead, collaborate and unify in providing their own services. But that would potentially mean creating our own networks and not utilizing the internet itself (or would it? Couldn't existing companies and institutions sue over patent or copyright infringement for the IDEA of the internet?)
AS A MAJOR NOTE:
Please, DON'T answer by saying there is no answer or perfect balance. Be personal. :-)

Answer 1

Net neutrality isn't necessarily about setting the price only. It's about providing tiered access, and giving consumers less for the same price. It's about telling consumers where they can go on the net based on their type of service account, and saving unlimited access for corporations or businesses who can pay the ISPs more. Companies should charge for access, period...not limit what type of access it is. Leave the dam*ed internet alone. It's fine the way it is.

This is yet another example of why I say we no longer live in a democracy - it's a LIMITED democracy. More and more every day, people are telling you what to do, where you can go, and even how much time/what web pages you can view on the freaking internet. I really dislike America and all it's B.S. I'm trying to get out as soon as I possibly can!! And for the record: I'm American. Unfortunately.

Answer 2

I prefer net neutrality. My internet provider is there to provide me access to the worlds greatest and most unrestricted means of communication and that is all they are there for.
