TWiRT 242 - Will Net Neutrality Kill MPLS?

Net Neutrality proposes that all Internet packets are treated equally - no buying a so-called “fast lane” where delivery is virtually guaranteed.  Broadcasters and other real-time data users depend on the MPLS protocol and pay extra for packet reliability - but is that really over the “Public Internet”.  We’re talking about it with Bob Holowenko on TWiRT.
