If you really want to. I actually read the white papers on it and the proposals.... it honestly pisses me off, unlike most topics I randomly digress on.

Basically it boiled down to a scheme hatched by Google and Friends to use the govt to strongarm ISPs into giving them unfettered license to shovel out as much shit as possible in a price controlled environment.

Controlled prices for Google and the content providers that is, not for the consumers who buy ISP access.

And yes, in the actual proposals prioritizing type of data is outlawed in many scenarios.

Obviously the pro-net neutrality op/eds did not bother to focus on this aspect. They simply blew a lot of bullshit.

Oh, and Fuck Google.
