How is Net Neutrality a "burden" on businesses? It seems to me that neutrality requires them to do nothing. Just letting the data flow is not a burden at all. Non-neutrality could lead to them implementing procedures to alter their network performance, which increases their cost "burden".

I guess the "burden" is not being able to prefer some data providers, for a fee, and charge consumers more, which is not a burden at all. But is a constraint. I cant think of a similar situation where businesses have been told not to spend more money, which also prevented them from making more money.
