The division between wireless and wired seems really artificial to me. Yes, the current state of technology means a megabyte over air is a good margin more expensive than over wire, but I don't believe this is worth codifying into law.
Personally, I'd like to see a restriction on what can be called "Internet". An internet connection in my mind implies neutrality. If your network only provides a subset of the content on the internet, you shouldn't be able to call it "Internet", but instead call it something obviously lesser, much in the same spirit that requires Cheez Wiz be called "cheese product".
