Re: Who decides what's reasonable?

"Just like the FCC's policy statement (pdf), which insists consumers are "entitled to run applications and services of their choice" except in cases of "reasonable network management"

If this was the case, then servers would be allowed too.. and they aren't. Any time the government uses the word "Reasonable" in ANY law or rule, then it was a waste of time and money writing it and the paper it's on is worthless. One person's definition of "reasonable" is not someone else's. The ONLY way to make that word work is to define "reasonable" so then why use the word?

So, basically, what I see is that if they don't allow servers, it's reasonable to believe that P2P applications would fit that definition of reasonable network management.
