Regular readers know that I'm really big on municipally owned fiber networks (at layer 1 or 2)... but I'm also a big constitutionalist (on the first, second, fourth, and fifth, particularly), and this is the first really good counter-argument I've seen, and it honestly hadn't occurred to me.
Is last mile infrastructure really considered "internet" ? If a GPON system operates as layer 2, it provides no internet connectivity, no IP routing and would/should not implement any IP use policies such as throttling etc. About the only traffic management it would do is provide separate garanteed bandwidth channel for VoIP. (or via QoS) If the last mile is sold only as wholesale (as is the case for Australian NBN), then it is up to each private service provider who buys access to reach homes to implement IP policies and connect to the internet, provide services such as DHCP etc.
