1

ISPs continue to provide the same level of service to all web sites.

2

ISPs self regulate and form a neutral regulatory body with input from the internet community.  If packet prioritization becomes necessary in the future then the ISPs leave how to do that to content providers and the internet community.

3

ISPs signal their intention to give preferential treatment or private bandwidth to certain web sites.  Big investors see this as bad for their content and startup investments and thus pressure the ISPs at shareholder meetings.  ISPs back off and commit to Net Neutrality.

4

ISPs are made to commit to Net Neutrality in exchange for national IPTV cable franchises.

5

Net Neutrality legislation is passed into law and the government gets involved in making sure the internet remains a level playing field.

6

ISPs offer private bandwidth in an open and fair manner to all content providers.  Prices are publicly posted and the ISPs do not pick and choose who can purchase private bandwidth.  The little guy suffers and competition and innovation slow down but at the least the bandwidth is open to everyone with the money.

7

ISPs start to cordon off portions of their fiber pipes to their partners only, thus limiting competition on the internet by giving the advantage of private bandwidth to content providers of their choice.  Innovation and competition on the internet are dealt a blow.

8

ISPs go so far as to block or degrade access to certain web sites and innovation and competition on the internet are dealt a blow.

9

ISPs go so far as to block or degrade access to certain web sites and content providers or consumers sue the ISPs.  An activist judge gets involved and legislates from the bench some overbearing and overreaching Net Neutrality standard.  Innovation and competition on the internet are dealt a severe blow.
