www.p2pnet.net/story/15677"Throttling" not about Net neutrality
Cable companies want the Internet to act more like cable service (bundles of “channels”, tiers of access services, etc). Cisco wants to sell more expensive routers which are capable of deep packets inspection and prioritization, even though in many situations increased fiber capacity is cheaper than these routers.
Cisco claims they support the ability of an ISP to use whatever policies they want to manage congestion and other issues within their network. I agree with the sentiment, but believe that there are two issues where regulation is clearly required.
