Cauchy criterion for sums

Problem

Assume a bounded function f on [a,b] has the following property: for every ε>0 there is δ>0 such that any two tagged sums with mesh below δ differ by less than ε. Prove f is Riemann integrable.

Hint

Treat all sufficiently fine tagged sums as a net indexed by refinements.
