Thanks for your comment. The EFF article is woefully short of details re: what provisions in the bill are undesirable. I read the House info about the bill and read the committee reports (including the minority report), but none of this shed light on exactly what were the objections. I didn't know about the consumer ISP-proposed demand for payment from business. That indeed seems inconsistent with the mental model I've held re: how the internet is organized (i.e., like the first diagram). It seems pretty simple so it's surprising that the elected officials didn't grasp it. Perhaps their advisers/staff didn't inform them of the extortionate ISP demands. BTW looks like I'll need to write to my senators again about net neutrality, etc. It would be excellent if US citizens contacted their senators for the same purpose.
