Or pass this huge boondoggle and make everyone's internet QoS the "same" and then watch how much this facet of technology impacts the rest of our economy.
I am telling you now - I will say "I told you so".

The bill is indeed is trying to set up minimal guidelines. Those guidelines being that data of the same type cannot be discriminated or favored depending on its source. It doesn't say you can't set different QoS levels depending on type at all, it's saying that you can't set different QoS levels depending on SOURCE. If you're transmitting, say, Sprint VoIP data packets at a certain QoS level, you have to transmit Verizon VoIP traffic the same as you do Sprint's. Not that you have to treat VoIP data the same as other types.
You say you want to let ISPs compete....well what happens when you're a small startup VoIP company. How are you going to compete in a world without NN when the big boys traffic gets priority over yours?
Is this what you seriously want?
