In my opinion this statement is false when it comes to regulations that limit the ability of monopolies to form.
Monopolies have been a well-proven failure point of capitalism, in that monopolies have the ability to also stifle competition in itself. A large point of net neutrality, as I understand it, is to hinder monopolistic-style traffic shaping that might potentially stifle upstarts.
Already the situation with high speed Internet is pretty bad in this nation -- with few choices in many locations (sometimes only one!), America has one of the highest cost high speed Internet networks among developed nations; high speed Internet providers often are ranked very poorly when it comes to customer service.

If you want to focus on getting rid of regulations, focus on the actual laws that prevent good true competition in the ISP realm from happening in the first place. Look at, say, legal issues Google Fiber ran into -- http://www.tennessean.com/story/news/2016/08/13/council-atto.... Look at the 21 states that have codified restrictions against municipal fiber -- https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/the-21-laws-state...). Etc.
