Here is the idea: since some types of services sometimes suffer from congestion on current networks (think of YouTube’s video that take a long time buffering during peak hours), operators could provide “first-class” (i.e priorised) traffic delivery to online service providers who are able to pay — what they call a “differentiated Quality of Service” (QoS) — which would also inevitably slow down the rest of traffic. To implement paid differentiated QoS, operators would negotiate so-called “interconnection agreements” with online service providers.
