That's the one I have issue with.  That would cause me to think I need a 1
to 1 ratio on bandwidth or at least close to it.  This one item brings the
cause for metered bandwidth to the top of my list of things to push for.
Honestly, I'd rather not meter the bandwidth just for the sake of image but
if this goes through, what other choice would there be?  Would certainly
take away a lot of headaches.

Subject: [WISPA] The Net Neutrality speech we've all been waiting for

http://openinternet.gov/read-speech.html

In addition to the four classic "Network neutrality" principles, the FCC 
plans to pursue two more. Quotes from the speech:

* "The fifth principle is one of non-discrimination -- stating that 
broadband providers cannot discriminate against particular Internet 
content or applications."
* "The sixth principle is a transparency principle -- stating that 
providers of broadband Internet access must be transparent about their 
network management practices."

I love the sixth one, but number five gives me the willies. "Nope, 
doesn't matter that BitTorrent users bring your network to its knees, 
you're not allowed to do anything about it." Please tell me I'm missing 
something.
