It would be reasonable position if we were talking about a free market, and not a market captured by last mile ISPs operating a cartel on bandwidth supported and enabled by their regulators. The near future involves last-mile ISPs openly selling $40/mo bundles for Facebook, Amazon, and Google. In that environment, flat fees for sometimes potentially lower latency seems exploitative (albeit no doubt wildly profitable). If NN objects to their service being used to further entrench that future, then being opposed to working with customers who want to do flat-rate passthrough pricing seems defensible and consistent. (Regarding your comment on the status quo, I completely agree.)
