6 reasons real conservatives should defy Republicans and support network neutrality

[Commentary] Conservative voters actually have compelling reasons to break from the Republican party's rhetoric and should support net neutrality and reclassification of ISPs as public utilities. Here are some of them.

1. Regulating the internet like a utility makes sense because ISPs don't actually compete.
2. There is no evidence net neutrality will kill jobs.
3. Net neutrality is the only way to protect the free market of the internet from monopolists like Comcast and Verizon.
4. Net neutrality will expand liberty and free expression.
5. Net neutrality represents the opposite of a government takeover of the internet.
6. Classical small-government liberalism supports the idea that government should provide public utilities, like roads and internet service.
