It took me awhile to figure out what was going on. They're trying to redefine the Internet! This is brilliant. So Verizon provides the INternet but that's just a subset of their services. Using the same back bone, and all the same pipes they also provide their video, but they call that a separate service, so that doesn't count. And then they offer to sell that kind of service to others. But that isn't part of the INternet, it's more like VPN. So when Verizon says it supports network neutrality, it means for the part of the backbone that it decides is the Internet, but not for the part that it decides is for its special service.
This amounts to the same thing. If you pay Verizon more, they're going to deliver your content faster, they just don't call it the Internet. Clever. Here's the quote:
"Let me try to address that issue. If, let's say, we offer somebody 5 megabits of Internet access and they purchase that 5 megabits of capacity, over the same type that comes into the home, we will be offering them video services. The video services are not part of the Internet access 5 megabits. And so we think that as you ? as you offer this capacity to consumers that gives them full access to the Internet, you also ought to be able to do other things.
Now, in the future ? we don't have anything like this now, but in the future if we have these 5 megabits or 15 megabits for Internet access and we have the video services on the pipe coming into the home, it may also be that someone will want to offer another service that we don't necessarily envision.
