Not really 'flat rate'? German court trips up Deutsche Telekom's
throttling plans

http://j.mp/1iDE9VI  (ZDNET)

     Deutsche Telekom's plans to introduce throttling for heavy users
     appears to have run into difficulties.

     ( Online throttling and site-blocking to be outlawed in Europe
       under net neutrality plan ) 

     A regional court in Germany ruled on Wednesday that throttling
     broadband connections would put Deutsche Telekom's customers at
     an "unreasonable disadvantage". The telco recently announced
     plans to limit users' broadband speeds to 2Mbps after they
     exceeded specified monthly download limits, starting at 75GB for
     some plans. The caps were scheduled to come into force in 2016.
