Here’s an interesting dispatch from CNET’s Anne Broache, who went to New Hampshire ahead of last night’s primary to find out what people think about Net Neutrality. Turns out, they don’t:

That means nothing to me,” Mark Cancelada, 42, of Portsmouth, N.H., said when asked about Net neutrality, shortly after an early-morning John Edwards rally ended Saturday in the center of this quaint city of about 20,000 residents. For Cancelada, what actually matters are what he calls “hot button” issues like health care, education and jobs.

And those who do know something about it… well, it turns out they support a hands-off approach as well:

One is Seth Cohn, 37, who recently moved to Canterbury, N.H. We caught up to him after a Ron Paul speech in Nashua, where he volunteered that Internet and technology policy issues are “really important” in his choice for the next president. “Net neutrality is almost certainly going to continue to be an issue,” said Cohn, a Web developer who’s been online for well over a decade and even has a Usenet newsgroup devoted to him (yes, it’s alt.fan.seth-cohn). “It’s all part of a bigger picture for me,” he added. “If they’re going to regulate the Internet, they’re going to take over free speech.”
