#3 is somewhat vague, but this principle seems most closely aligned with traditional net neutrality principles. Perhaps they felt that the phrase "net neutrality" was too prescriptive, and I agree. Markets with sufficient competition have no need for net neutrality regulations, unfortunately, broadband competition in the U.S. is severely lacking.

It's the kind of thing that Charlie Stross calls a Wicked Problem. Admittedly, this all depends on one's interpretation of "Openness".
