Net neutrality doesn’t have to do with caps.

  It actually kind of is related to data caps. There's many telcos who use a cap, but make it so certain websites (HBO, Facebook, etc) won't count towards your cap. This means that traffic is no longer being treated equally. It also means you're more likely to use services that don't count towards your data cap, so entrenched players are going to stay entrenched longer.

    I wonder if this will lead to capped content providers to mask their data as online gaming or other different traffic. A mod on the protocol both at servers and clients side would allow that just fine.

    That’s different. The GP was referring to global caps. What you mention is treating data differently(count vs non-count) which is exactly what NN is all about.
