how to control your network in 3 easy steps

1.invent a "bandwidth hogging" bogeyman that can be claimed to be disrupting "regular" customers and using up "scarce" bandwidth

2. put into place equipment that can see what is going across the network and "break" any attempt to use P2P applications

3. after weathering the resultant storm of publicity, quietly implement the full spectrum of "deep packet inspection" capabilities as "regular" network management.

then, just sit back and block, delay or otherwise interfere with any activity that costs the company money or keeps them from making money.
