Not making any claims, one way or another, about bandwidth theft.
So-called "net neutrality" basically boils down to a battle between big bandwidth users in general --and big search engine in particular-- versus the providers.
Judging strictly by the structure of rhetoric (i.e. absurd scare stories that providers will eventually pick and choose which sites you'll be able to visit, as though the internet is cable or satellite teevee), it's plain to me that big user is looking for a free lunch somewhere along the line. Also, the "throttling" issue is a dead letter, as Comcast already lost a lawsuit on that very matter.
None of which have to do with "theft" of bandwidth.
BTW, I have one of "life" thingies everyone talks about. Just because I don't come a-running to reply to this or that post at the drop of a hat doesn't mean anything.
