He notes that electricity is a metered service, which is exactly what ISPs want for the internet. He references Tim Wu, the creator of the term "Net Neutrality," noting that Wu's original thesis acknowledged that metered service is the only way to truly manage finite bandwidth resources.

The hosts discuss the legal battle between Verizon and the FCC, which led to the current proposal to use Title II or Section 706 authority. They explain that Title II would regulate the internet like a telephone system, which is inherently a metered utility.

Wu's early work suggested that true application neutrality might require upgrades that are impractical without some form of managed service. The hosts argue that modern activists have misinterpreted Wu's original technical framework.
