I have mixed feelings about this issue. On the one hand, if isps are allowed to discriminate based on sites, data, etc., the power is likely to be abused. On the other hand, networks have a finite capacity. Some users could monopolize the bandwidth at the expense of other users. It is my understanding that true net neutrality would prevent isps from penalizing the high usage customers.
One solution would be to prevent the isps from selling a service that cannot perform to specs. This would prevent them from overselling a network.
Another would grant isps the ability to discriminate traffic under very specific circumstances.
Either way, a proper solution would probably not come from a court. New laws are needed.
