(I've wondered for quite some time if "net neutrality" implies that Ebay or Google must carry third party traffic on their corporate networks, by the way.) eBay and Google aren't selling transit.
Neither is your local cable company. 8-)
Eh? Of course they are. They're selling transit to their cable modem customers, surely?
Quote from a typical terms of service agreement: | (b) Subscriber will not resell the Service, or any portion thereof, or | otherwise charge others to use the Service, or any portion | thereof. The Service is for personal use only, and Subscriber agrees | not to use the Service for operation as an Internet Service Provider, | to host web sites for other parties or for any other business | enterprise or to connect the Cable modem to any server or to any | computer outside of the Subscriber's premises. | | (c) Without Time Warner Cable 's prior written approval, Subscriber | shall not post or transmit through the Service any material that | constitutes or contains advertising or any solicitation with respect | to products or services, nor shall Subscriber transmit bulk e-mail | without prior written permission from Time Warner Cable. IP transit has no such restrictions.
