Nokia CEO is taking a simplistic view...

If hospitals need video without jittering or buffering, they can buy a larger bandwidth connection. Likewise consumers who love streaming movies and TV. And if self-driving cars are going to need a crapload of bandwidth, then self-driving car owners should pay for that in the purchase price of their new rides.

What I don't agree with is the idea that ISPs can throttle some content to favor other content that they either control themselves (Once again, look at all the media properties that Comcast controls, and Time-Warner Cable's predilections can be determined by just looking at it's name. And in Britain, BT is going in this direction too.) or where they can get content providers to pay them for preferential access to ISP customers.
