I don't think consumers will stand for dirty bandwidth tricks, and I don't think the ISP biz is monopolized or corrupt enough to resist the consumer mandate. All things being equal, less law is better for society than more law, so if a proposed law won't performing a necessary and useful function, to heck with it. Anyway, good to see the system is working in Norway. If it also works in the United States, great. If not, we might have to revisist a legislative or administrative (FCC/FTC) solution.
