You or I as individual consumers may not care much. But businesses, government officials, and anyone trying to start a business on the internet cares greatly. You seem to be missing the point. This is not about Joe Blow moving into a new house and going "oh nos my youtubes is throttled."

It's incredibly naieve and shortsighted of you to think that conflicting laws don't matter. They may not matter to YOU. They matter immensely to many many other interests. Also, I find it interesting you bring up water bills. You do know that in most areas the municipal water supply is a government regulated monopoly because it is considered so essential, right? It's often regulated locally because the water is drawn, used, and recycled locally. When local water use impacts a larger area, the larger governments DO get involved.

Your example is incredibly ironic because water rights laws are incredibly complicated fields involving, local, state, federal, and even international law. Thanks for helping make my point.

I suspect you're missing the point. This is not about individual consumers getting hurt (though they are). This is about very real anti-competitive practices and abuses that have already happened and will worsen without NN.
