To wiegh in on a couple of the questions asked: Should Internet service provider (ISP) be allowed to speed up, slow down or block lawful Web traffic from getting to where you, the customer, want it to go? No, though we have to allow for ISPs to optimize their networks. How we would measure violations is a trickier question. As already mentioned, most of the public isn't aware about these issues and those aware mostly don't care. We have to find a way to make these issues real to them and the regulator. Should ISPs like Orange or Safaricom demand payment from content providers like Facebook or Google because these content providers reap huge profit from the infrastructure provided by ISPs? To answer the question, no. It's disingenuous to add this phrase "*because these content providers reap huge profit* *from the infrastructure provided by ISPs*" to the question. It doesn't matter how much profit they're ripping. Nothing, I repeat again, nothing is preventing, or has ever prevented, ISP's from building their own social networks, search engines and video hosting websites. Their failure to imagine uses of their infrastructure beyond the initial use case is their own fault and they can't turn around and beginning charging those who have. Finally I already pay ISPs for the data I use. They'll effectively be charging twice on the same data if they're allowed to charge.
