Keeping the Field Level.

I’m going to try to refer to Net Neutrality as Keeping the Field Level; as in Keeping the Playing Field level.  It’s really about making sure everyone has a fair chance to play, without being bullied by the big telcos.

The article on HuffPo gets into how the Net Neutrality Act name is pretty bad.  How about the: “Keep the Playing Field Level Telecom Act” or "The Level Playing Field Telecom Act".  Something like that would play a lot better.  Plus it conveys a sense of saving the free-market instead of heavy regulation.  If the purpose of the act is to Keep the Playing Field Level for the big and small guys then isn’t that the essence of free-markets?
