IP telephony, VPN also part of a neutral Internet!

Before we discuss what Net neutrality is, do we even have agreement on what the Internet is? The oligopolists controlling Indian telecom have always held that Internet telephony was not part of the ISP license. Similarly, at some point they decided that virtual private networks also were not part of the ISP license -- perhaps Deepak Maheshwari can help with the historical record? Oh, and remember Intranets? BBSes? If those are OK, is there a problem with Facebook offering Free Basics, only not calling it the Internet, but a BBS? Net neutrality means according to me an Internet that simply forwards packets. VPNs, Internet telephony, everything, without distinction.
