The ban on "paid prioritization" and "consideration" may disrupt existing peering arrangements where companies like Netflix or Google place servers within ISP facilities. This regulatory shift is compared to the "Carterphone" decision, though the hosts argue the comparison is technically flawed and intended to confuse the public.

The hosts argue that the push for Title II is a political tool that will ultimately benefit large ISPs by providing a stable regulatory environment for tiered pricing. They criticize tech pundits like Leo Laporte for supporting regulation that they believe will harm the open nature of the internet.

Roberts argues that even under Title II, carriers have always been allowed to offer different service levels for different prices. Adam uses this to counter the narrative pushed by tech pundits like Leo Laporte, arguing that regulation will actually cement the ISPs' ability to charge more for higher tiers.
