Interesting point you raise, Hands Off the Internet (HOTI), and worth investigating further. All of my research to date shows that individual rights and freedoms (including the freedom to do business) are enhanced with net neutrality.

Some quick research unearths more questions about HOTI's" US political agenda:

"A little searching on the HOTI site reveals that AT&T, Cingular, BellSouth and other telephone companies are all "member organizations," but the level of financial support offered by those corporations is never disclosed.[2] One can guess that it must run into the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars, in order to support HOTI's extensive advertising campaign. In a single month, HOTI spent $693,658 on television advertising alone, according to independent researchers at the Campaign Media Analysis Group.[3] That's more than $20,000 a day on TV commercials. The group has also been running full-page ads regularly in papers like The Washington Post and Roll Call."
