One thing that disturbs me about the Net Neutrality discussion is that nobody's talking about what we might be giving up. I've learned a lot about unintended effects of regulation. I have some ideas about what those might be, like reduced infrastructure investment by the ISPs, but as a community this discussion seems absent. Are there others out there that are concerned about the unforeseen consequences like I am?
In particular, it feels like Net Neutrality will remove the incentive for video streaming services to put investment into new and improved compression algorithms.
I worry about streaming video squeezing out simpler tcp/ip.
