Libertarians, for obvious reasons, often oppose the government regulation generally associated with net neutrality. Government regulation, however, is not the only form of net neutrality.
I personally believe, that like neutral roads, neutral networks increase competition, and contribute to freedom. Because I personally believe this, I will make choices in the market that support net neutral companies. While government regulation seems like the correct way to go about instituting net neutrality for liberals or democratic socialists, it is not the only way.
I believe the debate of how to institute net neutrality is very different from the debate of if neutral networks are desire-able.
Net neutral telecoms will exist, through market forces, if net neutrality is demanded by the consumer.
