> Isn't prevention better than cure?

I can easily think of opposition rebuttals to this:

1. It's a solution in search of a problem.

2. It's a premature optimization.

3. The cure could be worse than the disease.

etc...

Those aren't rebuttals, they're platitudes.

> premature optimization

Yes. I feel like Net Neutrality is trying to solve a mostly hypothetical issue.

... then why are ISPs working so hard to get rid of it?

[state_less → syrrim]

So they can increase their ability to control a captive audience?
