I think you're missing the point, Florian.  Regardless of any 
retail restrictions, the fact still remains that your local 
Cable company is selling connectivity to other peoples' 
autonomous systems.

Then why do the ads promote their new chat service, instead the
ever-growing number of ASNs on the Internet? 8-) I don't think the
majority of consumers cares about this IP transit things as long as
their usual applications keep working.

Anyway, I suppose I can tell apart all these different types of
Internet access quite easily, but I can't come up with a generally
applicable set of criteria to categorize them properly.
