It's extortion.
From a consumer point of view, net neutrality is what we're paying for. Let's say I pay $50 a month for a certain connection speed. I expect to be able to surf on the internet at that speed.
Unless I'm incorrect about how it would work, I'd be pretty pissed if certain types of sites or content were throttled by my ISP simply because they didn't pay up. I mean, I already paid money to reach that content. I don't see why an ISP should make money off of the content providers too.
