I think it is the basis of a fair competitive market economy. It is the basis of democracy, by which a community should decide what to do.

This is appropriately enforced at law. Net neutrality in the sense of ensuring that all bits are created equal is an absurdity. I want an internet designed by engineers, not by lawyers and anthropologists. Plenty of people do edge caching. It's a sensible development of the web architecture. It's by no means exclusive to big companies, either: you can buy edge-service from Amazon as part of their cloud computing and storage offering. I don't doubt that as cloud models take hold, we'll see more and more such `kludges' take hold, to borrow JZ's term. Perhaps at that point some people will sit down and design the next generation of protocols which take account of this. We'll probably end up with an internet with all sorts of internal services. Whether or not that is a good thing is an <i>engineering</i> matter only. Net neutrality in the sense of prohibiting anti-competitive behaviour is probably good for us all.
