Mark Cuban’s thoughts about “net neutrality” are succinct: “I’m more concerned the government will f— it up.”

Cuban let loose on net neutrality last week, tweeting, “In my adult life I have never seen a situation that paralleled what I read in Ayn Rands books until now with Net Neutrality”:

Last week Obama urged the Federal Communications Commission to begin regulating the internet like a utility, and to adopt “the strongest possible rules” to govern it.

Many support  net neutrality because they fear that powerful Internet Service Providers will begin mistreating small companies that can’t afford to pay them a premium. Cuban dismissed this fear to Business Insider: “Hell no,” he said. “Since when have incumbent companies been the mainstays for multiple generations?”

Cuban, like many net neutrality opponents, believes that ISP competitors will eventually reduce their stranglehold on the market, whereas government regulation will only hamper innovation.

“There will be so much competition from all the enhancements to wireless that incumbent ISPs will have to spent their time fighting cord cutting,” he told BI’s Jay Yarow.

In another exchange with Business Insider author Steve Kovach, Cuban again brought up the uncertainty of the internet’s future: “We don’t know what’s next on the net and how it will be impacted by the need for the government to define what can and will happen [there] in some manner that they think protects consumers,” he said.

“The net is working. There is no better platform for innovation in the world right now than the net and you think further regulating it is good?”

Cuban has plunged into the forefront of the debate, tweeting another series of comments slamming net neutrality:
