In the end, all "Net Neutrality" will do will be to standardize service between companies. This will help perpetuate the quasi monopolies longer than they would naturally exist. If there were no/minimal regulations on getting into the market, the monopolies would destroy themselves by overcharging when they thought they could get away with it. Smaller businesses would then step in to fill the gap of affordable IP.
There's also the topic of Meshnet that needs to be discussed. Almost free, distributed, uncensorable internet access for the masses is already possible, but it's literally just easier if everyone coughs up $80 a month. Until companies have extremely destructive monopolies in place, the impetus to truly instate a meshnet will not be there. Has to get worse before it gets better. You need to make $50 and 10 hours of work more attractive to Joe Lunchbox than just buying his access to netflix or whatever the fuck he uses internet for.
