Without Tim's great work we wouldn't be where we are today. But we need to imagine a future that might depart from the past. And, we need to be clear what the "Internet" is. Richard points out, importantly, that it is a set of agreements between private networks. That's a lot of pipes and they didn't appear out of the ether.
I do believe Tim's heart is in the right place and he believes in the importance of a best-effort network. Nothing wrong with that, I don't doubt it will continue so long as folks want it. But we can't pass laws against alternatives.

Like Tim BL says, Net neutrality doesn't say we shouldn't pay more for higher quality of service or less for less quality of service because we always have and always will. That does it, we can say bye-bye to Markey and Snowe-Dorgan. Thank you Tim for setting us straight.
