In Australia we don't have service providers constrained under Title II. We have the NBN delivering national wholesale broadband.
All it would require for Australia to support 2 or 3 tiers of service delivery (RTP, standard, bulk transfer) would be for the NBN to honour service differentiation (DSCP) and for carriers to have a price incentive (tiered pricing) to prioritise traffic.
