I don't follow.
As I interpret the threat... without NN policy in place, a developing-world
ISP could be paid off by a foreign content firm to have its streams
delivered faster and more reliably than, say, those of domestic providers
lacking the same resources. During peak demand times the prioritized
content could even force an effective stoppage of the non-prioritized.
I see NN as helping to preserve innovation, smaller businesses, and local
content. In this respect it also prevents the diminishing of local culture
by refusing to allow its Internet traffic be denigrated to the benefit of
larger multinationals.
Please elaborate on what you see as the problems raised by NN. I'm not sure
the issue is about overall increase in volumes of traffic -- that is a
generic infrastructure issue -- but, rather, about the paid prioritization
of some types of content at the expense of others.
