I was only arguing the initial point in the post stating about people's right to choose not to do business with corporations that do not provide the services, services which they are currently obligated to do thanks to Net Neutrality.

This may be true.
But I can not believe that bringing in a third party to threatan death to those who refuse to conduct their own buisness in some specific way is any kind of a solution to this. Or to anything else.

You don't always have a choice.
Not eveyrone lives in areas where they have the option of DSL, or Cable, and/or having a T1 line installed.
For some, all you have is either Cable internet, or dial-up. If Net Neutrality dissolved and the companies were free to block whatever they wanted and give special treatment to those who paid them, many folks would just have to deal with it for the sake of having acceptable internet service.

From your origonal post:
"telecommunications should NOT be in the hands of... individuals"
This confuses me. What other hands could they be in?

Once you've got a REALLY free market, with no regulations, that means that political power will be in the hands of corporations, bought and sold on wall street to whoever can pay for it. We may wake up to find the Saudi Royal family controlling the American internet, because they had the money to buy enough Verizon stock.

The modern corporation, with special privileges within the legal system, is a creation of state monopolistic law. At the extreme, remember that property claims are overturnable. If you don't want wealthy Saudis in control of your ISP, who would you rather have standing between you and the relevant material - troops they had to pay for (which factors into the profitability of the venture) or troops you fund every day through taxation.
Notice the latter is today's system.
