In this paper we analyze the interplay between access to the last-mile network and net neutrality in the market for Internet access. We consider two Internet service providers (ISPs), which act as platforms between Internet users and content providers (CPs). One of the ISPs is vertically integrated and provides access to its last-mile network to the other (non-integrated) ISP. We show that a lower access price may increase the ISP's incentives to charge CPs positive termination fees, i.e. to deviate from net neutrality.
