>> It’s about making ISPs “dumb pipes” for the internet and allowing people to choose what they use that bandwidth for.
That’s it exactly.
The problem with Comcast et al is that they are an ISP AND a cable TV company. There is no problem with throttling if it is done for network management purposes, there is a problem if it is done for the purpose of favoring their cable TV business.
Comcast needs to divest itself of either its ISP business or its cable TV business.
I don't have a problem with them doing both of those things as long as they are not in charge of the "pipe".
