If WISPA is going to make an official statement I think it should be
presented as: "The ISP needs to be able to manage their internal
network in a manner which allows them to provide a consistent quality of
service to their customers."
If we say p2p applications are bad now we will have to define and then
defend what a p2p application is. Whereas if we say we need to be able
to manage the network traffic characteristics on an individual and
network wide basis we have covered what the root problem is without
limiting the tools we use.

major connectivity issues on 4 meg Canopy 900 AP.
Does your 900 AP have a public IP? There is a known issue with HTTP
requests locking up the units. I have mine with private IPs and
firewalled off so only we can get to them. We don't have any lockup
issues with Motorola APs.
WISPA or someone needs to post some comments to FCC to counter this
argument that ISP's should not be allowed to limit p2p. If ISP's are
not allowed to curb the bandwidth these applications use the quality
of service for all users will go down as the p2p applications suck up
all the bandwidth and pps of the system,
