Government will only bring web of complications
The Seattle Times editorial “Net neutrality up to Congress” [Opinion, April 7] calls for government control over Internet providers in order to supply neutrality. We are not stupid. If an Internet provider’s service is lacking, there are dozens more to switch to.
One result of government regulation is barriers to entry. When government imposes complicated regulations, such as 3,000-page laws, only the largest firms can enter the industry. Complications impose costs and eventually require court interpretations, lawsuits and hundreds of attorneys.
The only regulation that works for the consumer’s benefit is the market. Why should we trust government regarding regulation of the Net?
