Okay, so for this specific example, the IPTV VOD service, the net neutrality
rule would have to allow for segregation of traffic that the ISP does not
intend to send beyond the edges of his own intranet. Let's see that sort of
exception specified, then.
Here's another issue. What about the ISP installing mirror servers for the most
popular sites used by his subscribers? Is that a valid way for this ISP to
differentiate himself, or should that be forbidden? Or should he be made to
install such mirrors for every web site out there?
When I hear the words "net neutrality" from the staunch advocates, I equate the
words to "family values," "carbon footprint," and "the public option."
