Comcast and others could profit from Bittorrent while maintaining network neutrality. They may not be doing so and probably don't see "bit torrent a a good thing right now," but their desired solution is not one that I agree with. If Comcast chooses to overcharge light users (like me) and undercharge heavy users (like our hypothetical bittorrent users), that is a flaw in their business model, not a flaw with net neutrality.
As for the content delivery folks, which I assume to understand are the content creators, aren't they also paying for their bandwidth on the other end? Which major content creators are using Bittorrent or other forms of p2p sharing right now? Even if they are using p2p, their users are still paying for the bandwidth. In any case, it seems to me that as long as the bandwidth were being paid for, Comcast wouldn't complain -- except that the content being carried over their bandwidth competes with their own content. That's the crux of the issue; Comcast doesn't want to treat other content creators fairly and is looking for excuses to fight net neutrality.
