Critique of DDoS Protection

re: @MarkTurner's remark in Any Cheap Dedicated w/ DDOS protection? the other day:



Protection or mitigation?


Most providers don't differentiate. I see companies advertise protection and the reality of it is they just null route you. If you want just null routing - 'DDOS Protection' then you already have it and its included.



I'm interested in what people think constitutes 'DDoS protection' and how its instantiation translates into pricing.


For example, there are a number of providers who offer free protection. On the other hand, take a look at Liquid Web's 'DDoS Prevention Pricing Structure':



The pricing seems completely exorbitant. I guess I'm curious what it is that providers who charge that much are offering that 'lower end' hosts are not. Is it just a ridiculous markup or are they 'actually' offering a service that is substantially better?
