Re: throttle me for saying it...

That's not the point. It's the thin edge of the wedge. What will they decide to throttle with absolutely no technical basis? You're on Comcast ... so say they throttle traffic that originates from a Qwest, Verizon, Charter IP address whether business level or not. Say they have an agreement with MSN (which Bell does), so say they decide to throttle Yahoo! content provisions.

There are thousands of other non-net neutral scenarios that can lead from this.

Telcos throttling VoIP

It's the ISP telling you what they want to you to do with the internet connection.

The matter of pirated material is another one altogether and should be dealt with in its own arena ... not this one where the focus is net neutrality.

As the quote I read once that sums that up.
"Never try to provide a technical solution for a social problem"
