Here's my bumpersticker for structurally separating the Internet carriers, so that those who provide access to the bits do not also sell us content and services:

This is the only way we'll really get Net neutrality. As it stands, the business model - the existence - of the companies providing Internet access demands that they give preference to their own content and services over those of their competitors. They therefore have a business imperative to turn the open Internet into something much more like cable TV. (See Susan Crawford and David Isenberg.)

As for my slogan? Yes, it's the Worst. Bumpersticker. Ever. [Tags: fcc net_neutrality ]
