Blackburn: Net neutrality is "fairness doctrine for the Internet"

Article about the government wanting to take control of the content on the Internet.

Another Article about Net neutrality speaks of keeping the Internet service providers from blocking content or prioritizing Internet traffic.

It seems that I have heard 2 opposing ideas of what this Net Neutrality is about. I need know more about this to know what this is really about. The rules are still being written. If it is the government regulating content then I disagree with it. If it is only that Service Providers can no longer regulate content then I agree with that. We pay for a service to provide us Internet access to whatever online content is available. No regulations should be taking place on the government level. If private companies decide it makes better business sense to provide Internet service based on the amount of bandwidth users pay for then that is their choice. There should be no business that gets preferential government treatment. Competition in the private sector by private companies should be encouraged and will regulate itself.
