Tim Karr of SavetheInternet.com reports that the Right's blogfather, Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit, has come out in support of Net Neutrality:

“A lot of people on the right who don’t favor Net Neutrality, or are skeptical of it, are worried that it’s going to lead to regulating Internet providers as common carriers the way that you regulate the telephone companies and that that’s a bad idea.

“I understand the point but the fact is that most of them are common carriers, the telephone company that provides my DSL certainly are already. And the genius of the Internet has been that it is a level playing field. When you go to visit my site, when you go to visit the New York Times site, when you go to visit MoveOn.org or whatever, they’re sort of all out there in the same place and you can seemlessly go from one to another and that really does elevate the little guy.

“And the concern, which I think is completely legitimate, is that if big sites can engage in what’s basically payola for better treatment people will start visiting them more because they load faster and start paying less attention to troublesome little guys such as myself because our sites don’t load as well, don’t display as well, and don’t play on the same field.”

As always, a disclosure that I'm actively working with the Open Internet Coalition to help promote a free and open Internet. Natch.

UPDATE 6:07 PM: A fellow traveler on the World Wide Web points out that Glenn Reynolds has supported Net Neutrality for quite some time. That's solid.
