All,
Talk about missing the point...The reality is that customer perception
is important and if one advertises unlimited then the customer expects
unlimited. These apps might impact customer satisfaction with your
service and they will go elsewhere if they feel they are not getting the
unlimited service they think they signed up for. At this point only time
will tell how important such apps are to your customers. If one limits
peer to peer traffic then these video on demand services will not work
and since there is no way to tell if the content is legit or not it
leaves the ISP between a rock and a hard place. The mis perception that
all peer to peer traffic is illegal is one that has to be dealt with
sooner or later. Looks to me like these apps might make it sooner. ;-)

Talk about a biased view, "(while we wait for Telcos or companies like
Google to build out the next-generation networks)" get real.
"make sure you're not on an ISP that treats you like dirty rotten
thieving
scum"
Yeah, well we all have those users, If it looks like a duck, walks
like a
duck, and sounds like a duck......
"But what about those who (like me) pay more for 'unlimited' broadband
access? There shouldn't be a problem, right? Wrong."
Thats why you can pay for an account with a CIR of 1.5Mbit at
$400-$500 a
month or a 4Mbit account thats best effort for $40-$50 a month.
