Re: this post said by cdru:The part about network neutrality is that the ISP doesn't get to decide what is right/wrong, appropriate/inappropriate. They provide a pipe. That's it. Period. Well, that is what a lot of people want them to do. But hey this is the USA and they get to decide what business they are in and not you. If they want to be more than a dumb pipe why shouldn't they?

what they are not entitled to do is privilege or give an advantage to the apps or content they own outright or have a stake in, which is what they are absolutely, positively, 100% itching to do.
they also aren't entitled to block or degrade competing content or apps. |

Because that is bait and switch. It's kind of like: Hey, we've been given money to pay for college tuition and we've decided to party instead. Break the content into another company and let the dumb pipe be a dumb pipe! |
