Well, if he really believes it. I high doubt most people in these positions believe a fraction of what they say. They're being backed by major telecom firms to promote a narrative.
There is a supported narrative either way. At its heart the net neutrality argument is really a media versus delivery argument. You could arguably eliminate substantial amounts of network congestion, and thus the need for telecoms to throttle in the first place, by eliminating online advertising and data tracking.
Imagine, instead, if this were a choice between net neutrality or SOPA. If you had to choose one which would you find the be the lesser evil? In the end you are either playing the game media wants or the way telecoms want.
