Net Neutrality is fine. The FCC just needs to reclassify internet providers as common carriers rather than information services.

To quote from the Washington Post [1]: "Broadband is currently classified by the FCC as an information service, a category that gives the agency a fairly limited set of regulatory options. If Internet providers were classified instead as common carriers, the FCC's rule would likely stand. In fact, the federal ruling on Tuesday upheld the FCC's net neutrality rules as a matter of principle; the problem is that the agency effectively tried to apply its powers in the wrong context."

Great adaptation of Hitchhiker's Guide! I hope you do a whole series of them. I'll get you started on one of them: "A repl, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar Clojure hitchhiker can have.." :)
