I admit I’m conflicted on the “net neutrality” debate and having a hard time deciding which side to back. I’m in favor of internet innovation and capitalism, but feel slightly queasy about trusting cable/telco companies not to abuse the power of a “tiered services” internet.
Here are two pretty good summations of the debate:
1) The pro-neutrality argument, at The New Republic: The Bush administration prepares to wreck the Internet. (Yes, inflammatory headline, but well written piece.)
2) The editors of The National Review give the anti-neutrality arguments: Unplug New Regs. (Shouldn’t that headline be “Loony Left Mau Maus the Internet?”)
