Allow me first of all to introduce myself - I work in R&D for a DPI  
vendor. These are my personal comments, neither authored nor approved  
by the company (other than in the sense of them not minding me  
blogging), but I figured that fair's fair in terms of reasonable  
disclosure.

I read through your paper and found that I'm not entirely in agreement  
with parts of it. Mainly I have to disagree on the bit about video  
over the net being "not difficult at all". As such, I tried to cover  
another angle, cover why it isn't that trivial and some of the  
reasoning. Since 'Net neutrality' is about as a fuzzy a term as  
'DPI' (ask four people what they mean by it and you'll get at least  
four different answers), I'm afraid that the response is somewhat  
verbose due to this.
