I don't follow.
As I interpret the threat... without NN policy in place, a developing-world ISP could be paid off by a foreign content firm to have its streams delivered faster and more reliably than, say, those of domestic providers lacking the same resources. During peak demand times the prioritized content could even force an effective stoppage of the non-prioritized.
I see NN as helping to preserve innovation, smaller businesses, and local content. In this respect it also prevents the diminishing of local culture by refusing to allow its Internet traffic be denigrated to the benefit of larger multinationals.
Please elaborate on what you see as the problems raised by NN. I'm not sure the issue is about overall increase in volumes of traffic -- that is a generic infrastructure issue -- but, rather, about the paid prioritization of some types of content at the expense of others.
