What I have observed in practice is the businesses of connectivity and
content are separately run & tend to act with a very high degree of
independence. To take the example of throttling - all that would do is (1)
prompt customer contacts

[RR] Did you mean “contracts”?

 - driving cost to the ISP, or (2) prompt churn - also driving cost +
reducing revenue. My personal view is that the whole notion of throttling
streaming video (or whatever) is a non-issue to any large ISP. That is why I
think there is consensus support for 'no throttling or blocking' in the ISP
community.

That is likely why I think industry writ large agrees with the notion of no
blocking/throttling/prioritization.
