Great debate on net neutrality

The Save the Internet folks report on a wonderful net neutrality debate. And what they have to say is totally compatible with my Tariff Rebate Passthrough proposal.

Key points:

• Prioritizing one KIND of application, like telemedicine or video downloads, over others is OK.
• Charging for that prioritization is OK.
• Favoring one PROVIDER of the SAME kind of application over another — e.g., Mayo Clinic vs. Johns Hopkins in telemedicine, or Google vs. Yahoo in search — is NOT OK.
