Nikolaos,

I think you make some very good points in this essay. I think it's a little unclear in the wireless section whether you are arguing for net neutrality regulations in that area or not (since at least in the US net neutrality principles that control wired networks do not apply to wireless networks). If you are not then I think it's worth considering how much choice consumers truly have. For example, take a product like the iPhone, which requires you to receive your wireless network through only one service. Doesn't the incentive still exist for Apple to ask the network to speed up its own apps and slow down those of third parties, especially if the third party apps are in direct competition with their own?
