I wouldn't have federal ISP regulations, nor would we tolerate large scale ISP monopolies like Comcast. The Mayor is not getting hoodwinked by some out of state conglomerate, the largest ISPs around would be the size of the city or a regional body.

I also am not sure I understand the point of nitpicking the analogy. A roadway is like a cable. Sort of. A truck would be like a superposition of a large content provider, the upstream ISPs, and all the customers requesting data from that domain. The point I am trying to make is that when you try to charge this ``truck'' for its use of the cable, well its like taxing economic activity between all these entities and we should be careful when making rules about this: we may lock ourselves into the current model of ISPs without realizing it.

This does pertain to Net Neutrality because how else is NN assessed than by getting into these details?
