WSJ made to believe Google abandons strict net neutrality

One of the weaknesses in the arguments pro-net neutrality is that it prescribes what the network should be like in too much detail. Net Neutrality advocates don't allow for the possibility that significant and unanticipated improvement could come in the future from innovations in network technology.

When internet access is provided "like a utility" (one of their catch phrases), your network providers will be every bit as innovative as your water and sewer company.

Have we gotten any significant and unanticipated improvement in the Internet in the last 5 years?

The value of, say, a neutral 100Mbps symmetric FTTH utility is large. What is the value of the future breakthroughs of the unregulated Internet? How do we measure and compare these?
