Finally, Seidenberg says restricting carriers' ability to favor certain content and to create tiered services would take away their financial incentives to invest in network upgrades.
Incentive? How about to keep your paying customers? What are you doing with their monthly access fees? If you decide that the money customers are paying you is not worth investing in network upgrades, your customers are going to look for a provider that does.
I can be relatively certain that should network neutrality not pass and Verizon were to team up with a company such as Yahoo!, Google searches would suddenly start responding very slowly.

While in theory you are correct, the main issue is that for many people / places you have a monopoly or at best a duopoly situation.
I do not buy into the "we lose incentive to invest" game. If they CHOOSE not to invest, then remove their right to do business in the state and bring someone in that will. |
