Arms race?

I can see this becoming an arms race.
Each ISP will try to figure out which of their customers has one of these devices, then they'll prioritize the packets for those customers so their benchmarks are better.

Also, who's to say that Sam Crawford's real plan isn't just to extort money from ISPs to report falsified data that makes their network seem to perform better compared to others?
