Internet regulation bad? Then I assume McCain would support Net Neutrality, since the ISPs have been doing everything they can to regulate the internet into their favor.

Keep the internet unregulated and neutral. Don't allow ISPs to charge web sites to deliver traffic to consumers when the consumers are already paying for the service. Don't allow ISPs to discriminate against protocols simply because they are associated with high usage. Don't allow ISPs to send fraudulent packets in order to kill your P2P connection because they don't like P2P networks.
