You're right, this does eventually turn back to net neutrality. Akamai is certainly doing some interesting things, and I wonder if anyone thinks they could run into trouble the same way ISP's plans for QOS are being threatened with legislation. The end result of the product is much the same. And since the content companies seem more results-oriented than process-oriented in calling for regulations. They would like to lock in their lead in the marketplace right now, and are only passing it off as an altruistic endeavor. I wrote a post about this some months ago for the Hands Off the Internet blog: http://handsoff.org/blog/tiered-service/let-go-akamai-internet/ I wouldn't be surprised if this came up again.
