Net Neutrality is being overturned as ISP telecoms claim they need to throttle bandwidth and speed as too many customers want to stream HD videos and play HD online games. EM waves are fast and unlimited, so is Tiered Premium Billing absurd? ISP telecom expenses include transmitters, receivers, routers, cables, transformers. Do they really need more equipment to give users more bandwidth and speed? Is their claim of limited capacity an excuse for monopoly profit-taking? No need to talk politics; I'm asking: How does a physicist see this telecom claim in terms of EM energy and entropy, so a student might understand?
