Comcast should not be hammering on users to throttle/shape traffic. What if everyone went online and started streaming TV over the Internet ? Would Comcast throttle them too ?

My thinking too. If P2P went away tomorrow, and people decided to start streaming all kinds of videos, would the "Comcast's" be justified in shaping/throttling that traffic too, considering they advertise that you can use the connection for just that purpose?
