Network neutrality and private decisions

In an earlier post, I had addressed Akamai and how their business might relate to network neutrality. Apparently, at least one company (Sony) has found it worthwhile to pay for better performance, according to this item from IPCentral.

Would this business arrangement be permissible if network neutrality regulations are enacted? Does this provide sufficient evidence of a demand for higher quality of service?
