no, because there is no regulation of content providers.
only the pipe providers are being regulated, and only to tell them that
they have to treat a gig of a customers traffic the same no matter who or
what is on the other end. a gig of traffic to netflix or a gig to some
obscure site or a gig to the telcos own video site must all be treated
the same. same speed. same price per gig, if metered. and if theres a cap
a gig is a gig is a gig.
they can still charge a customer more for more gigs, or for faster
speeds, but the more gigs or faster speeds apply no matter who the
customer is communicating with online. they cant sell you a plan where
you get 5mbps to netflix and 20mbps to everyone else, either its 5 to
everyone or 20 to everyone but 20 can still be priced higher than 5.
and they cant block sites outright.
