I suspect it might possibly be the same. Public sentiment is pretty strong about it, and it would be easy for the Republicans to take the angle of "freedom for small businesses and the free market" or whatever.
Public sentiment on the right is definitely not in favor of net neutrality...
In Romney's own words:
It is not the role of any government to “manage” the
Internet. The Internet has flourished precisely because
government has so far refrained from regulating this
dynamic and essential cornerstone of our economy. I
would rely primarily on innovation and market forces,
not bureaucrats, to shape the Internet and maximize its
economic, social and scientific value.
Specifically, the FCC’s “Net Neutrality” regulation
represents an Obama campaign promise fulfilled on behalf
of certain special interests, but ultimately a “solution”
in search of a problem. The government has now interjected
itself in how networks will be constructed and managed,
picked winners and losers in the marketplace, and
determined how consumers will receive access to tomorrow’s
new applications and services. The Obama Administration’s
overreaching has replaced innovators and investors with
Washington bureaucrats.
That's because they've spun it as "Obama trying to control the Internet" or whatever. Most rank-and-file conservatives didn't even know what it was until the GOP Powers That Be decided to take up the crusade.
