Re: More Confusing The Issue

The third point, regarding the prohibition of companies from building their own dedicated pipes to offer content of their own choosing has no bearing on net neutrality.
Let's say there is a company out there that rents movies over the internet - you pay and you download them for a few days. Your provider does the exact same thing - you pay and you download them for a few days. The only difference between the two services is that your ISP has relegated the other service with the other internet data where load times are much slower, however, they create a separate VLPS on their network and allow you to download their movies two or three times faster. People notice this faster download speed and use the ISP service.

In the above example, which is what 3 opposes, they are using their position as an ISP to unfairly compete against the other video rental firm. The purpose of the separate pipe is so that their services can outshine other services.

Cheating, plain and simple.

Point 3 wold not, however, prohibit a company from seperating out its VoIP or Video-over-IP service from the internet for quality reasons though.
