Oh $DEITY, it's back-to-front time again. Net neutrality is strengthening regulation. It's everyone playing by the same rules, not bandwidth sold to the highest corporate bidder that quarter meaning people will never see your video without buffering unless it's on YouTube.

(Obligatory addition, as is so often necessary: QoS is not anti-net neutrality, it's setting the technical rules by which things are transported so they arrive at their destination in the most useful way for the user otherwise whatever it is being transported it's just wasted bandwidth. E-mail doesn't need to be realtime, games do, audio and video needs to not buffer every 10 seconds, interactive terminal sessions need to be interactive.)
