Rational net neutrality debate

Though net-neutrality opponents, like myself, might not have a big petition drive with over a million clicks, there still quite a few of us. And one opponent, George Ou, posted a great article on net neutrality titled “A rational debate on Net Neutrality.” It gets into the technical information about net neutrality, debunks the myth that net neutrality used to exist, and explains the Ed Whitacre quotes that net neutrality advocates love to throw out. It’s a good read, check it out.

I still think, though, that arguing against net neutrality as a practical or legal issue won’t work in the long term. If we get to the point where people no longer respect one another, then it’s only a matter of time until we get net neutrality or all kinds of things that are much, much worse. Still, it’s great to read articles like this, and if he keeps arguing his points I’ll keep hitting the individual rights angle.
