Glenn,
I think it's important not be be overly alarmist.
There is every reason to believe that Network Neutrality will allow and
encourage "reasonable network management" practices.
WISPA works responsibly with the FCC and with other governmental
agencies to be sure that they understand the needs of both WISPs and
the public and to incorporate those needs into the regulatory and
legislative framework.

Chair - WISPA FCC Committee

What happens if the government states you cannot block any content and or do traffic shaping ... ?
Understand - the talk was to the Free State Foundation - who is against virtually any blocking or traffic shaping
This being said- even the plans you may offer may be out of the window on the other extreme.
I think some regulation is wise personally ! - However if its to broad it does not help - if its to narrow it does not help on the other side of the fence :-)
Like anything - it needs to be wisely thought out and dealt with

support the alternative of making government so small that you can drown

Title II of the Communications Act—the section that regulates telecommunications common carriers is now being considered by the FCC to oversee broadband. FCC Commissioner Robert M. McDowell during a talk he gave to the Free State Foundation asked: (see First Do No Harm: A broadband plan for Amercia)
“Exactly what kind of companies might get tangled up into this regulatory Rubik’s Cube?…Any Internet company that offers a voice application?” … “With this newfound authority, why stop at voice apps? Isn’t voice just another type of data app? As the distinction between network operators and application providers continues to blur at an eye-popping rate, how will the government be able to keep up?”
