If Alex Curtis feels so strongly about net neutrality, he should really stop thinking of himself as "libertarian." Free-market libertarianism is precisely what's making it possible for ISPs to enter into non-neutral agreements with search engines and other content providers (freedom of contract!), and for Microsoft to drive non-neutral technological standards into content and applications software markets through the power of its OS monopoly (libertarians love to claim that antitrust is obsolete in the digital age).
Libertarianism only makes sense today if you first go back through history and make everyone who ever stole something from somebody give it back.
