I didn't argue the language couldn't be cleaned up, just that you can't be specific about any one thing because there is a counter example of the exact same use not causing the same problems. I don't really like the blanket statements and lack of enforcement, but they aren't government, they are allowed to selectively enforce whatever rule they want to create.

My argument has been and remains the abuse of the term "network neutrality" to include such silly things as peering arrangements between Tier 1/2 providers and a provider having tiered services for commercial/residential uses.

My views fall very in line with the article link I posted at the bottom in fact. In other words, Google has a lot of room for improvement but this particular case isn't network neutrality and people need to stop calling every little thing they don't like network neutrality.
