Nevertheless, net neutrality proponents are again in full-throated attack mode, marching a new parade of horribles down the boulevard of the hypothetical. But the two grievances they cite are really phantoms: One reported claim of content-blocking by a telephone company was promptly snuffed out by the FCC last year. In the other, Cox was accused of mendaciously blocking access to online advertising competitor Craigslist when, in fact, third-party software -- soon fixed by its manufacturer -- was the real culprit.

And once we start down this windy regulatory road, why exempt from coverage Google's dominant position in Internet searches, eBay's dominant position in online auctions, Amazon's dominant position in online retailing of books and other products, or (again) Microsoft's dominant position in computer operating systems and in Internet browsers?
