Rare: The pentium analogy is commented on in one of the final interviews. No one is stopping companies from charging for faster connections, we see that today with cable often costing more than 56k. What the tier system would do is charge companies for unrestricted access to current high speed connections (as far as I can tell we aren't talking about charging for new high speed fiber but about putting more charges on the current network, with promises that extra money will go to the fiber network (promises that have already been broken once)).

I found the electricity analogy to be quite good.
