Perhaps I did not word my comment clearly - I was trying to emphasize that the existing body of law, going back for many years, is all considered to be "net neutrality". That is the way it has been discussed by journalists, lawmakers, and pundits for years (It is true that some agitators have tried to make the definition so broad as to include both sides of the argument, presumably to confuse voters). Courts had difficulty enforcing laws in some jurisdictions, and the title II classification two years ago enabled these arguments to be put to rest (thus making "net neutrality" a legally unambiguous interpretation of existing law). Current efforts by the FCC, under the current administration, are to remove that classification and make it once again impossible to enforce existing neutrality law as it has been understood by lawmakers and which "long predates anyone dreaming of ISP's as title II".
