Can anyone think of any advantages to a non-neutral internet?
I can think of a few - Netflix and Skype would work better.
Most likely, we'd be able to pay for priority traffic, just like we pay for a large AWS instance. Non-priority traffic might be cheaper than current bandwidth.
It would be crazy to suggest all sites be forced to use the same size AWS instance...
Some types of traffic are bandwidth sensitive, like video. Others are cost sensitive, like Linux DVD images.
If you think that an end to neutrality will 'ruin the internet', don't you expect consumers to choose ISPs and services that don't do it?
