"As neutral as a football game in which one team gets to wear rocket boots."

My latest tech op-ed takes on the subject of Net neutrality, an issue that many have deemed egregiously complicated (though most of the complication is just obfuscation by those on the wrong side of the debate). My attempt to uncomplicate the issue is up now at CNS News. Free samples at the counter:

America has developed a proud paternal bond with the Internet. We've watched and cheered the net''s growth from its awkward, text-heavy infancy into the capable, hard-working information network it is now. But, like many beaming parents of prodigies, we''re so pleased with our creation's current brilliance that we're on the verge of stunting its development with overbearing restrictions. These restrictions, ushered in through innocent-sounding but insidious "net neutrality" legislation, threaten the net's maturation into the powerful technology it ought to be.
