For those who missed this fragment of history: US abdication from being the free harbor for the internet was spearheaded by US, and Western European NGOs.

Yet all those positive people behaved like the States is the main enemy. And look how it worked out!

Stuff like this has been circulating for years, usually under the guise of Quality of Service management.

Beware. When people start talking about how to bin traffic or discriminate streams or particular hosts, they really have only one thing in mind.
