> "Net neutrality" means that there is no preferential treatment of packets based on origin or destination.

Which is utter nonsense for any large service provider that requires traffic engineering to handle elephant flows.

This is the problem with blanket slogans, they constrain the network in ways that impact user experience dramatically, and is why a LOT of internet pioneers oppose net neutrality.

Encouraging open access networks seems more striking at the heart of the matter.

I have long worried that net neutrality rules mis-applied would prevent the default availability of quality fair queuing and AQM solutions along the edge of the network.
