Comcast and other cable companies have urged caution because decisions to allow network owners to operate in a deregulated market have produced enormous consumer benefits. Waz noted that cable critics for years have inaccurately predicted that only regulation -- such rules allowing third-party Internet-service providers to buy cable bandwidth wholesale -- can safeguard competition. "To push their agenda, the proponents of network neutrality have constructed a parade of horribles. But this parade marches right down the boulevard of the hypothetical," Waz said. Even the term 'network neutrality' is misleading, he added, because many business relationships on the Web can’t be called neutral in their design or effect.
