i was at the talk and yes i think he misused "network neutrality." he seemed to be talking more about regulation, and government pressure on telcos to keep prices lower than what the market could bear.

I'm not really sure I follow that argument. I get that consumers often prefer unlimited mobile data plans to paying per byte, but what does that have to do with regulation? I'm not aware of any current or proposed rule that would mandate or even encourage unmetered bandwidth and the mobile market is clearly moving away from unlimited data all on its own.
