investment

if competition in the marketplace is what will forestall any decrease in network investing how can those pushing for new regulations use the lack of competition as their reason for net neutrality regulations??

The fault in your reasoning is assuming there is competition in the marketplace. When 1-3 carriers exist through the exclusive use of public easements and rights-of-way, that's a duopoly existing largely upon finite public resources. Not a healthy, competitive "market."

The same applies to wireless providers using the public airwaves (again, a public and finite resource creating a duopoly through public resources).

IMO, the answer is to treat broadband as a public utility, not dictate that they can't manage their networks to prioritize traffic. I think the whole topic of NN misses the root of the problem.
