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. Cheers, -- jra
