DTAG is the Network Operator for most of German Business and Private Customers. Most DSL-Resellers are Business Customers of DTAG. So maybe there point of view, beeing more important than any public exchange, is not far fetched as it is most certainly a business reality. Hetzner making a stand for net neutrality is a joke. They are asking your money for better service.

If DTAG asked for 1 EUR/Gigabyte, would you still maintain that position? 10 EUR? 100 EUR? Is there any point where you would consider the behaviour of DTAG inappropriate/unfair? BTW, nobody is denying that they in fact are an important ISP, where "important" means "lots of customers", which in turn means "lots of power". Someone holding a gun to your head also has a lot of power and thus is important to you - but power in neither case automatically implies that any offer the powerful party is making is a fair offer, be it that they ask you to give them all your money to avoid being killed, or that they ask you to pay massively above-market rates to avoid being unreachable for their customer base.
