He is against them being government backed monopolies. According to him, and I agree, we should be able to switch ISP's at will. If we do not want an ISP selling our data we should have the freedom to move to one that doesn't.

This sounds great for N >> 1 ISPs. But most of us have N > 1 (and N <= 2) from which to choose.

You have that freedom now, you might just have to move to exercise it.
