Should the Government Regulate Net Neutrality?

Net neutrality can't exist yet, the FCC has already blown it away

As long as the FCC gives Comcast and other bad actors reserved markets, that no one else can compete in, then there will be no market forces to force them to comply with good faith operations.

I live in Portland, and no one other than Quest who offers low, or no speed, services is allowed to compete in the market. Just 2 miles south of the city, Verizon offers rural users 50Mb down and 20 Mb up speeds,all the while Comcast trumpets their fiber optic networks while giving customers 6Mb and 8 Mb down speeds, and up speeds not much better than DSL.

Comcast burns off more resources on line trying to "manage" its customers than the customers are allowed to use themselves. Comcast is trying to turn net traffic sharing with other ISP's into a profit center in the name of "managing" their network traffic.

Quite litterally the government is already regulating out the net neutrality, by giving Comcast free reign in a false regulatory economy created by FCC regulations and restrictions for any others to compete in the market.

I find it astounding, that a market the size of the city of Portland, is allowed to be the sole domain of Comcast. All the while Comcast has a marketing team for determining the least amount of services for the maximum prices. This should have been an open market years ago.

Comcast cries network congestion, with a user density many times higher than the rural towns to the south, yet can't or won't convert the revenues into services as other companies have with less of a user base. What is ironic, is that Comcast could clear the congestion by providing the higher speeds, and less "management" by Comcast marketing. Internet data flow agreements were not designed to be turned into profit centers for the ISP's. Comcast is already charging their customers more than they need to for the inferior services they provide, even withiout having to layer on top of that, some contrived "management" of its users.

Comcast will always seek to provide the least for the most revenue. They are a bad corporate actor in American business. They will never do anything in good faith, and they will never seek to provide services based on merit.

Until the Comcast markets are opened up to real competition, by the FCC revoking their "exclusive" regulatory territories, then there cannot be any semblance of anything like net neutrality. The government needs to open the territories to competition. At least for the city of Portland they do. It is the government regulation that has already created this sad state of affairs. As long as the government regulation has kept this in place, it requires government regulation to fix it.
