Getting rid of net neutrality would I think, be self defeating, as it would get rid of one of the fundemental atttractions of the internet, for me anyway. If I couldn't connect through a ISP that believed in net neutrality, I'm not sure I would use the internet as a resource. If I have something important to say to someone now, I use the phone anyway, if I'm looking for a product at the cheapest price I will return to the phone book and the phone. I buy more than I probably would anyway because of the internet so if I thought my shopping on the internet was being compromised, I wouldn't use it. If I was searching for information and couldn't be certain I had access to all available information I think I would start going down to the public library again. Without net neutrality, the internet is no big deal and I wouldn't see it as an indisposable resource.
