The good news is that should keep the environmentalists busy they can start a campaign against beavers for their wanton destruction of natural wetlands and species downstream.

For those of you who screamed you had a "right" to control the property of your service providers to tell them how they had to run their network by the simple fact that you couldn't build a network of your own.
You found that the only way to enforce that right was through the use of a gun, in other words the government. If in whatever way your twisted logic somehow decided by regulating the internet you would free it, here is just one example of the logical consequence of these types of regulations.
Wait until the special interests start lobbying the FCC for the right to force the service providers to insert disclaimers here, or block some sort of thing they declare as libel but are too cowardly to sue for.
And wait until you start paying the "Net Neutrality recovery fee" as a percentage of your monthly bill at a rate set not by any need of providing bandwidth, but by the whim and vote of unaccountable bureaucrats in the PUC or FCC or some other allegedly beneficial set of parasites.
Brother, you asked for it.
