And this seems to be emerging consensus, I heard the same idea several 
times at the Internet Rights conference in Rome, and I actually agree - 
network neutrality is one of the "new principles" that should be part of 
an Internet rights framework.

Ok, I've not read the paper yet, but here is the Usual Question: let's 
say that the government of XYZland wants to prohibit access to child 
pornography content to its citizens, would that be inhibited by your 
definition of network neutrality?

Ciao,
