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 - 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. <br>
