Companies like Comcast are the internet. Without their massive capital investment in building networks, there is nothing but a bunch of software running on computers that can't talk to each other. Why shouldn't they get to control it however they want?
If the Googles and Facebooks of the world don't want to abide by the terms set by the Comcasts of the world, they should build their own networks. If there are regulatory barriers to doing that, those should be the target of regulatory reform.
