But what we are talking about in net neutrality is whether the consumer also may get a larger or smaller pipe from the consumer ISP depending upon which sender he is receiving from. That would be equivalent to the post office charging me more or delaying for similar packages from John Shutt instead of from Amazon. We would like to avoid that sort of discriminatory behavior.
Are you so sure that it is the receiver, the end user, the individual subscriber that would be charged more to receive Amazon.com data, or is it Amazon.com who would be charged more to give their packets higher priority on the bandwidth limited commodity internet?
And the commodity internet is indeed bandwidth limited. See: http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSN2620750120091026
