Throttling is really censorship. OK, they block packets in order to prevent network congestion and so they call it throttling. Looking at it from the consumer's point of view, instead of from the network corporation's point of view, blocking packets is censorship. With DPI you can program any kind of censorship you want. First they censored P2P. What will they censor next? They will always call it 'network management' even when their intent is really censorship. It's those damn 'they' again. HAND.
