This is backwards. It's definitely a net neutrality issue since it
concerns inequal access for customers to content on the Internet.
Whether it's subject to current laws or regulation is a matter for the
lawyers, but current laws and regulations at least in the US are a far
cry from actual net neutrality. (If you want a good example of that,
look to the Netherlands.)
