If you requested a hot dog and a beer from the isle vendor, it is the unwritten responsibility of each person in the row to pass the food and beverage along, without delay, at the risk of spillage, without taking a bite, and to also pass the money along the other way. Imagine how dismal concessions and the ballpark experience would be otherwise. The way I explain net neutrality to non geeks is that the internet was built upon the ballpark ethos.
