said by Jason Levine:I wouldn't oppose a telecom building a "fast lane" for their own stuff (HDTV, Digital Phone, etc) so long as the general Internet connection doesn't suffer. Suppose an ISP decides that they should getting more revenues from Digital Phone and so they degrade down all Internet connections to make services like Vonage unreliable. I would classify that as being against the principles of Network Neutrality.
As long as their "fast lane" does not take away from my service I am okay with it. If I am paying for a 10mbps speed and they throttle that down to 1mbps on outside connections so that they can deliver 10mpbs for "their" services then that would be against net neutrality principles.
