As we all know, all-you-can-eat buffets are notoriously unprofitable. Brilliant analogy.

And also, they still exist for the customers who demand them, even without a government mandate! Imagine that.

Have you used the internet before? An idea like net neutrality does not exist unless every ISP practiced it. If Time Warner played around with the bandwidth, (1) any smaller providers that rides on its infrastructure would be affected by its practices (2) any customer who tries to access a website on a server connected through Time Warner would be affected

A more relevant story for your restaurants analogy would be a McDonalds Open 24 Hours A Day located in a mall food court that closes at 9pm. Nobody can access this technically offered 24 hour service if the doors are locked by an interrelated force.

AD is right. We don't want to mine too much of that internet and run out of it. Tragedy of the commons indeed.

Absolutely correct AD. Peak internet is on the horizon. We need to invest in alternative sources of communication.
