"But who lobbied for those regulations and who is working overtime to make sure they are strictly enforced? The ISPs!!!!" <--- You're right. Just remember, at the end of the day however, it's the government politicians who are saying yes to corporations when they should be saying no.

"I am curious, why do you have faith that the ISPs won't abuse their monopolies?" <--- I don't. They always do when they have no competition. But since governments created the problems that lead to both Ma Bell and to the current few ISP's (using, ironically, extremely similar regulations), I have to put the blame squarely where it belongs... in this case... local government.

"Or do you believe they should be able to treat internet traffic differently?" <--- Yes. Business owners who put billions of dollars into building their own infrastructure can charge whatever they want for whatever they want. That doesn't mean people will pay it. But they have every right to try.

Obviously, without competition they can charge what they want since, for the consumer, there's nowhere else to go to. However, the moment there's competition prices naturally lower and quality tends to goes up.

The only thing corporations fear more than anything else is losing a customer to a competitor. Why else would they spend so much money convincing government to give them a monopoly?
