Having worked in energy to me it seems absolutely idiotic to not go for net neutrality.

Open access to transmission lines helped the free market by increasing the number and diversity of electrical suppliers and improving the consumer options. Open access to interstate natural gas pipelines similarly improved the free market drivers for the natural gas segment. It is exactly the same debate that happens with all network monopolies - telecom, railroads, etc.

Anyone in favor of the free market should be supporting net neutrality.
