...and to correct that analogy, the superhighways will be subsidized by the ISPs.
The ISP's will provide various forms of access between your parking space and the superhighway. With a "net neutrality" approach, you will get to choose (and pay for) they type of city streets and driveways you use.
With the whining Baby Bells' approach of "charging the content provider under the table", you may get gravel or you may get concrete, but the choice will be out of your hands--it will be determined by which stores you chose to do business with today, and you won't have any idea or control over whether you'll drive out into a mudhole or a wide open expressway when you leave your parking space.
