Thanks for the first link, it's a pretty good summary of the arguments for. My question would be why don't most of those fall under fraud statutes.
The second link is the example of crap I've read about the issue that never resonated with me, please don't tell why arguments against are bad, tell me why I need it the the first place.
And calling me "willfully ignorant" is a good example of why net neutrality has failed to get wider support. I'm a full-time developer, I do read a lot about a lot of issues, but I'm also busy with a full life. Guess what, my governments tax, drug, school funding, and police policies get more of my attention than a poorly explained argument for limits on ISPs.
Advocates should learn to tell their audience clearly and concisely why Net Neutrality benefits them. And without being dismissive or condescending. I mean, only if they want to build more support.

Because they're not fraud unless we make laws regulating such behavior. And, lawmaking can begin with setting proper FCC policy.

Dude, if you're a developer, I'm not going to let you off the hook so easily. You should be familiar with the arguments, both for and against. Whether you agree with one side or the other is up to you-but you should at least be aware of the issues.
I'm sure you've told someone to Google answers to a simple question before. This is no different. I got those links by Googling your question.
Generally speaking, the concise arguments are to spread awareness among non-tech folks. They are a dumbed down version of the details. The old CP Grey video is good [1], as are recent graphics showing what could realistically happen [2].
