BlackIce: Sadly, the law banning Mentals from any sort of important job isn't well enforced. Therefore, Jackie is still a "Lawyer".

Short stories short (sorry if it sounds rude):
@Muninn:
Yup, good appraisal of potential ISP tactics. IP over DNS is real, google it. It's actually really controversial because it bypasses "walled gardens" (any wireless network that wants you to pay before permitting access to the Internet - they usually let DNS through to do this but intercept http!), and it is a considerable strain on the DNS system as a whole. IP isn't and never was an ISO layer, and there's actually quite a lot of IETF pride invested in this. The phrase "IP over everything, everything over IP," is one that generally connotes that this is by design. If someone can lock you into a layer, they control you, so this is a degree of freedom IP's framers had in mind from the getgo.
The point is; no matter who filters you, if they permit some service, you can most assuredly find a way to tunnel IP over it. So the only way to block access to any part of the Internet with absolute certainty is to disconnect from the Internet entirely.
The outcome of Net Neutrality is a foregone conclusion. The worst any ISP can ever do, with or without legislation, is irritate you.
@Evangel:
Again, Net Neutrality can't and won't do anything about prioritizing network traffic. Its attempt is to do something about complete censures of network traffic, such as resetting torrents.
