I don't think any consumers would argue against your stance against the regulation of speech in cable/satellite and new media (internet) by the governemnt. It doesn't take a Rand study to note that this would be a bad thing.

The confusing part for myself and your consumers is identifying exactly what your stance is on Net Neutratility. Your public proposed stance is always very vague and filled with ambiguity as to the whats and whys. This blog article seems to be an attempt to counter it under the guise of fighting against the regulation of free speech and media regulation. I don't think anyone would argue against regulating free speech, no one wants that regulation. However, Net Neutrality has nothing to do with free speech, but everything to do with how government regulation will threaten your ability as service providers to maximize profits by charging content providers for different levels of service. This in its own way is a means of limiting freedom of speech, as the only voices that will be heard are the ones that pay the most.

Consumers AND business are not interested in that. It's ridiculous to try and spin it as if they do. Consumers want access to ALL information EQUALLY, this is what spurs COMPETITION, GROWTH, and KNOWLEDGE. Limiting it will only cause decay of those attributes.

Tauke's stance that the market will and has dictated what works is a fallacy. What market? The communications industry is a giant monopoly. The mere fact that there is an organization (the PFF) that is jointly funded by Comcast, Verizon, AT&T and others to jointly influence public policy is testament to that. The public doesn't have much choice in what they would like to have happen via demand, because they have no choice in suppliers. The consumers only voice, seems to be a goverment that has long been stupefied and castrated.

You speak of acting responsibly... how about thinking about how to benefit the evolution of consumers (mankind) AND profits and how your institutions can better serve those goals. The internet is such a wonderful open source communication method and humanity is growing and learning greatly from it. Be careful not to kill it. It will kill more than just profits.
