Interesting point concerning net-neutrality:<p>First this:<p>This proposal will end discriminatory blocking and throttling and deliver effective protection of the open internet. It sets out clear rules for traffic management on the Internet, which has to be non-discriminatory, proportionate and transparent.<p>Then that:<p>Companies would however be allowed to differentiate their offers (for example by speed) and compete on enhanced quality of service. There is nothing unusual about this – postal services (express mail) and airlines (economy&#x2F;business class) have done this for decades. But this is subject to a vital pre-condition: that the quality of open Internet must not be impaired.
