But, even with net neutrality, the US regulators would probably let broadband operators "over shape" services on a highly constrained upstream link. The DOCSIS MAC sure would make it very easy (just think PowerBoost for Joost -- drop from 500kbps to 5kbps after the first 10MBytes). As long as they shaped all upstream traffic the same, it would be net neutral, and none of the non-Joost users would know it was happening. I can't imagine anyone more out of their comfort zone than Mike Volpi walking the halls in Washington.</p> I doubt the carriers or MSO’s would try to do anything unless Joost is successful.
