You raise a good point. I think the net neutrality ethic can accommodate traffic shaping by application type, provided certain conditions are met: A) Traffic shaping is done in the public's best interest. B) It doesn't discriminate between packets of the same type but different providers. C) Carriers are transparent about how and why they shape traffic. D) All affected parties retain ultimate control over how shaping happens.
