I see a 2 tier internet coming. The desktop PC web will be "net neutral" but the mobile web & the web that streams content to HDTVs will be controlled by the ISPs & hollywood. Just like 1 big Itunes, where steve jobs et al. decides what you can see & cant see on your wireless device & HDTV.
Piracy will not die, but it will be limited to a net neutral desktop web where download speeds are so slow the torrents & file sharing sites will wither from having no access to the fast internet.
The future is the mobile web & streaming to HDTV. This is where hollywood & the ISPs will control what you can & can't view. Since our government is incapable of passing meaningful regulations any longer, these webs will be considered private networks instead of public utilities (like phone service) & thus free speech will be meaningless. Disney, News corporation, time warner, & verizon will control what you see.
The google-verizon deal provides the roadmap to this coming web.
