How often do you see an old TV station replaced by a new one with better offerings? How often with websites? A Non-neutral internet has the potential to make the current big-players on the internet as locked-in as the TV networks.

New offerings would not be able to afford to pay for the fast-lanes used by the established companies, and would thus not be able to compete with them. Supporting net-neutrality is not defending Google, Amazon, Netflix, it's defending the sites that might some day replace them.
