Problem solved .

That makes kind of sense. But still you show some examples where it makes sense (like surgical operations or remote vehicle operations) but then the law as you describe it is open to anything. Anything that is called special (and it becomes special if you offer it exclusively) can have higher speed. So no need to reduce anything to video streaming and games. Facebook or twitter could be special services too.

In the end you could probably just abolish general purpose internet connections and make everything special. If I understand the law right, then everything can have it's own speed. Would this be right?

I guess it will be really hard to prove that T-Online subscribers experience slower data rates as a result of another "special service" (of T-Online or someone else). After all there is only one Internet, so if noone invests in the general purpose internet it will surely become slower not faster, or less fast faster... or something like this.

So this part I don't believe. Surely special services will compete with all-purpose services in terms of bandwith of existing infrastructure and one of the both has weaker pull and will suffer.

But we could just wait and see how it develops. My guess is that in the future everything will want to be a "special service".

Sure - if the internet service subscription blocked access to every other site. You can't check your mail, you can't go to youtube or imgur, you can't search for stuff on Google or Bing, you can't follow links you get in facebook messages or tweets because they point to sites outside said two domains. But if people are fine with that, yeah, ISPs will possibly start offering such a specialised connection for domestic use.

It's a ghastly idea, so too bad. It's back up.

Forbidding it is one thing but actually enforcing it may be another thing.

Surely the ISP's own services will compete with the general services. And if the own services are also special services they have to be faster by definition and the general services have to be slower. So I imagine that you pay for a preferential treatment in all of the special cases. Preferential treatment may be forbidden in a general purpose connection but then I imagine that you could just have tons of special connections of special contents where all this neutrality babble would not apply at all. It might be like opening Pandoras box.

But let's see what the future will bring. I'm a bit more pessimistic here, just out of experience. Companies seldom to never think about what's good for the customer, it's always about maximizing the profit and the good stuff if it happens is just a side effect. But maybe I will be wrong. In that case I will happily apologize.
