The term "network neutrality" was invented by people who want to control
a network owned and paid for by someone else.

Your version of "unreasonable" and my version of "unreasonable" are on the
opposite end of the spectrum. I think it is unreasonable for you to tell me
how to run configure my routers, and you think it is unreasonable for me
to configure my routers that I pay for the way that I want to.

Net neutrality is just a fancy word for "I don't like the fifth"*.

Hence the "relatively low". It is far easier to start a CDN than it is to
start a residential internet service. At least here in the U.S.
