This is the introduction of the end of net neutrality. It's only a matter of time that Google, Facebook, Apple, Amazon have to pay directly to Deutsche Telekom to exclude DT customer's traffic from the volume limits.
It's like a medieval toll road…

Flaying alive top corporate executives and beer makes the perfect octoberfest - lots of fun for everyone and not a single human being will be harmed.
If Facebook does some effort to write up a decent piece of text there, then I bet most people would root for Facebook, not DT, in this case. Especially so if the mainstream media does not explicitly appear to disagree. In fact, papers like Bild will love a healthy scandal and will likely choose Facebook's side just to blow things up. (idem for Google, of course)
I see at least two problems: the leverage that the other party actually has (GEMA, DT) and the willingness of the citizens to do something about it.

The Enterprise will exist without Net Neutrality just as it exists without the unreasonable tariffs we suffer as consumers. Google wil lhave to pay money to get around CONSUMER traffic and volume limits, but I don't think you'll see volume limits on business circuits in the foreseeable future.
I did have to pay a significant amount of money to get it set up. I don't remember exactly what the price was, but I believe it was in the neighborhood of $200 setup fee.
Where it isn't you can get 30/15 for $18/mo.
