Re: Sandvine's MSO Case Study-Reasonable Network Management?

The specific section is as follows:
run programs, equipment, or servers from the Premises that provide network content or any other services to anyone outside of your Premises LAN (Local Area Network), also commonly referred to as public services or servers. Examples of prohibited services and servers include, but are not limited to, e-mail, Web hosting, file sharing, and proxy services and servers;
I've highlighted what I believe is being interpreted as the ToS elements related to P2P
Out of curiosity, could VOIP traffic be considered to fall under providing network content to anyone outside of your LAN? Not that they would try blocking it (and deny blocking it for the first few months). But that TOS is general enough that it could be quoted as a reason when blocking competition on their network.
In 99% of the cases, a VoIP user on Comcast is still operating in the capacity of a client and connecting to a server elsewhere. They aren't serving their own VoIP connections.

Point taken on VOIP, but hosting Vent/podcast or hosting a multiplayer game (even between 2 people) like Neverwinter Nights could be counted.
