Yes, but they are almost never the exclusive route between two points.

Neither are ISPs.

restricting traffic will lead to censorship, esp of publications that certain ISPs think don't agree with their political views.

If your ISP is a cable company far more than Kodi is going to be throttled.
Do you recon Cox might want to slow down say Netflix, Hulu, etc, and pimp their own service or lets say CBS buys one and decides to put the screws on the SEC network to improve their own ratings?

What do you mean? most areas just have AT&T and then a cable provider (Cox, Time Warner, etc) What are the other realistic options for a regular broadband connection?

The vast majority of folks have far less realistic options, satellite and cellular are not very viable for most.
Let's talk about vast majority

Rural areas cover 97 percent of the nation’s land area but contain 19.3 percent of the population (about 60 million people)
Google census for your links.
There are talking points and then there are actual facts.

Kodi will be unusable. That will literally be broken for all Kodi users.
Russian must work for the FCC. I already pay for internet. Why should I pay more for YouTube or to stream Netflix? It doesn't cost the provider any more to give me access to that content than it does CNN.com.

this situation pisses me off
government has fricked with the markets so much that various levels created mini-monopolies and then the market gets blamed when it faces an uphill battle to correct the problem
this is possibly the perfect argument to reference in future discussions of government interference, b/c we see how terrible the results are

Should a person be able to demand a full page ad in a newspaper under “print neutrality”? Maybe they should demand TV stations run their shows under “broadcast neutrality”?

And that is the problem right there. High speed broadband is the Cadillac of service. You think you are entitled to best of the best, like it is a right in the Constitution.
People being able to stream videos on youtube, facebook, etc. is not a freaking right.

And quite frankly the bigger story... is congress relaxing the last vestiges of media ownership rules. You know the media companies the statists think the FCC will regulate...
But...mug net neutrality!

The ISP shouldn't be charging you more to use specific websites. But, for a guy like me in the stone age who pretty much uses the internet for message boards and email, I don't think it's unreasonable for the ISP to charge a family of six streaming TV and movies all day more than me. You wanna cut that cord? Well, there's a price.
