The hell I would.

V? You think "agnostic" isn't an incendiary term? Pfft.

I'm in favor of network neutrality. The kind of packet-shaping they're talking about is onlya couple steps removed from censorship, and that's not a positoin the ISPs want to be in (whether they know it or not).

Please note, though, that I make a distinction between this kind of activity on the part of the ISP, and the same things done by companies and individuals on their own networks.

Not my observation, from the article.

I agree on all points. Net neutrality, protocol agnosticism, whatever you want to call it, I'm *strongly* in favor of that on the open internet.

I also agree with your exception noted for private networks.
