I'm with you here.

Slingbox is a natural extension of networking/broadband technology. Really, so is VOD or downloading Video via the Net... But since many broadband providers are also in the "Pay for TV" business as well, the temptation is strong for them to turn to the Dark Side and start "managing" people's net connection to protect their pay-TV business..

 I think that is was Comcast traffic shaping was all about. I don't think it has anything to do about controlling piracy. It's about normalizing traffic shaping...getting that foot in the door. Then just add more stuff to the list, that is unless Apple. Amazon and E* pay the blackmail fee.
