By "categorically untrue" do you mean "FCC's open internet rules allow us to refuse to upgrade full peers"?

Throttling is taking, say, a link from 10G and applying policy to constrain it to 1G, for example. What if a peer wants to go from a balanced relationship to 10,000:1, well outside of the policy binding the relationship? Should we just unquestionably toss out our published policy â?? which is consistent with other networks â?? and ignore expectations for other peers?
