Sabotaging their network just to throttle just doesn't make sense. Nobody is going to pay for a white-list only internet. That is fear mongering by the pro-NN side.


You call it "sabotaging", I call it "enhancing monetization powers". Either way, it's sabotaging the public's access.


...except for it already happening in other countries without protections.

White-list only after the first few gigabytes is already happening. It's called zero-rating.


If you had sane competition, maybe. But you don't, so they can do whatever they want and you'll pay for it unless you don't want internet at all.
