They've always agreed that the consumer needs to be protected. All the ISPs have. They've just disagreed with the FCC on: 1. how to protect them 2. who to protect them from 3. who decides what's good and bad.

Previously they were pushing an edge-network QoS strategy position that could be countered by competition. Now they're pushing a position of de-facto collusion across the industry, to implement their brand of QoS end-to-end.
