The term "network neutrality" was invented by people who want to control a network owned and paid for by someone else.
Your version of "unreasonable" and my version of "unreasonable" are on the opposite end of the spectrum. I think it is unreasonable for you to tell me how to run configure my routers, and you think it is unreasonable for me to configure my routers that I pay for the way that I want to.
Yeahbut, for the last mile that network is often a monopoly or maybe a duopoly if you're lucky. If streaming provider 1 pays ISP to give priority over streaming provider 2 -- maybe by severely rate limiting provider 2 -- the people who get screwed are end users without a way to vote with their feet. That sort of monopolistic behavior is bad for end users. Mostly I want ISP's to be dumb bit providers and stay out of shady deals that enrich ISP's at my expense. And if it takes regulation to do that, bring it. Mike
