This is revisionist history. Companies did not have to abide by net neutrality during this time.

They did not have to.

But by and large, they did. Its only when they started to step out of it that the law was slapped upon them. Worth mentioning is that one of the things that started the ball rolling was exactly the scenario I mentioned: targeting and throttling P2P.

So functionally speaking, how is it any different from it being law all along? First it was tradition, an unspoken agreement among ISPs, then it was codified.
