On Net Neutrality, again

I last wrote about this issue back on June 20th. But I continue to read and hear a lot of FUD from the backers of so-called "Net Neutrality", whether from individuals or from big corporations like Microsoft, Google, eBay, and others.

It is a somewhat complicated issue, because of the US government's history of intervention in the economy, and in this case, in the phone and television businesses in particular. So I can understand people being confused on this issue -- I even was for a little while. All the more valuable then are brief articles like Net Neutrality vs. Internet Freedom, by Alex Epstein, which concisely lays out why fighting against so-called "Net Neutrality" is both the practical and the moral thing to do.
