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<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

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. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
