The arguments made by advocates of so-called net neutralityregulations have been proven false by nearly a decade of experience since their concerns were first raised. The Internet is a remarkable free market success story, and the vast majority of Internet users are not clamoring for regulation. Self-styled consumer groups asking for regulation actually represent an extreme left-wing ideology that is hostile to free-market capitalism and puts its trust in government. That is not the position of the "grassroots" or most American Internet users. With the resounding decision in Comcast v. FCC it is now clear that the Commission has no jurisdiction to proceed. Rather than contort the law and the democratic process to continue to pursue its regulatory ends, the Commission should leave the question of whether or not the Internet should be regulated to Congress.
