Ok, see, Valdis; this was where I started this conversation, and -- I think
because I was merely using terms they didn't like for the objects involved --
everyone told me no, that wasn't what was really going on.

But it sure *sounds* like what I thought was going on, really is (ie: the
condition about which you inquire, above).

And it wouldn't be Net Neutrality: it would be common-carrier equal access.

I think.
