I do, and I find the time to do my own policing. With the appropriate software, you should be able to as well. Besides, I don't need any self censoring, or government provided agency telling me whats allowable or taseful.

Net Neutrality isn't about content, it's about controlling that content to give service provider's unfair advantage over competitors. IE... many cable companies offer Net based Telephony..... it would be anti-competitive and unfair if they allow their voice telephony to clog their pipes, however heavily throttle VOIP apps like vonage.

And as far as crippling devices. Verizon Touch Pro comes with GPS built-in. They purposely disabled it, so that consumers could not take advantage of the internal GPS unit with Commercial or Free navigation solutions.... they try to make you use theirs excluzively.

We want dumb pipes, not service providers pushing their own agendas.
