Re: Small Online Businesses Need Network Neutrality

it's actually both. because if you control one, you essentially control the other.

it is interesting to see the talking points against network neutrality begin to make the distinction here. to say that capping is not about network neutrality is to make a strong case in the interest of cableco and telco and against consumers and businesses not providing dumb pipe.

Not really. Net neutrality discussions revolve around improper filtering and/or prioritization of traffic. Capping is about managing quantity.

Why is capping/metering a strong case against a "dumb pipe"? ISPs can remain a "dumb pipe" and still cap/meter service while maintaining protocol/traffic neutrality.
