Hmm a customer who exchanges packets will almost invariably pay less
per packet than one who exchanges only a few, and I don't think that
that should be considered a violation of the principle in the first
of the questions.

So how about the following? (the only change is to replace "source or
destination party" with "the party with whom the packets are
exchanged") 

“
How to maintain the principle 

(referred to by some as ‘net neutrality’) 
 
that the price which an ISPs charges their customer for
exchanging data packets via the Internet shall not depend on the
content of the data packets, nor shall it depend on the party with whom
the packets are exchanged?

How shall the key architectural principle of best effort service for
all user traffic in the global Internet be preserved?
”

Greetings,
Norbert
