Net neutrality is one of those hot-button topics du jour, and there is great discussion over the practicalities and legalities of it. It has been the conversation piece for many a debate and flame war, with valid points on each side. Nice, then, to see that the two largest ISPs in Great Britain would cheerfully abandon the idea without a second thought. Both BT and TalkTalk are more than willing to agree to any such offer if one is willing to put some cash up.
I'm trying to think of a way that such a deal doesn't end up screwing cash-strapped Internet startups, and I really can't. On the other hand, if you're trying to provide some sort of exclusive data service and have money to (in a long series of separate deals!) pay off every broadband company known to Man, it might be a good idea.
