Virgin Media CEO Says Net Neutrality is “A Load of Bollocks”
The new CEO of Virgin Media is putting his cards on the table early,
branding net neutrality “a load of bollocks” and claiming he’s already
doing deals to deliver some people’s content faster than others. If you
aren’t prepared to cough up the extra cash, he says he’ll put you in the
Internet “bus lane”.

I think the interesting statement in this article is:
With around 3.5 million customers in the UK, and already traffic shaping due to
lack of capacity, [...]
Or, in other words: "Having signed up far more customers than their
existing technical infrastructure can handle, [...]".
I bet this guy would get on really well with that other bozo who, as head of
some US TV network, claimed that skipping commercials was stealing the
programmes,
since both of them seem to want the world to change so that their business
models can work.
