Philosophically I agree that Comcast or any company should be able to run its business without government micromanagement. Unfortunately there are barriers to competition that inhibit the free market vis-a-vis ISPs, and consumers are often left twisting in the wind by predatory providers. Net neutrality is a complex issue, but in the end, if a company is allowed to screw around with my internet access and I don't have a choice of going to another provider? That's wrong. I believe government has the right to regulate businesses to prevent the abuse of consumers, so I'm not sure if I agree with the FCC ruling at this point.
