When this many people I respect here say that Gov regulation is the answer, I figure that it must be a really fricked up question.
It is a bad situation when a Comcast tries to do to NetFlix what it did. I bet that Verizon is fighting it worse as they don't want to stop their silly nonsense when it comes to their web access through their smart phones.

Unfortunately a lot of kids never grew up without a cell phone and don't understand the importance of regulation in the "wired" telephone business that enabled communications and industry to take off in the US.

Regional Bell operating companies, MCI, ATT et al, have been offering tiered bandwidth packages for twenty years now. If Home Depot wants a fault tolerant optical network throughout the SE USA, they paid for it. Netflix is the fat guy who brings a wheelbarrow to the all-you-can-eat buffet.
