by the initial findings this sounds like this could be a good thing for p2p users.
based on past history, I'm guessing having incumbent ISPs (basically the incumbent telcos and cablecos) be involved with this means nothing good will come of it for customers.

please remember the incumbents aren't interested in keeping their customers happy, they are just interested in keeping them:

* That means bundles to confuse people and make it harder to compare services and prices

* it means speed tiers that are different from competitors (if there is a competitor), again making it harder to compare prices and services

* it means "P4P" to make customers think they are doing something "good" for them, when in reality it's likely just another scheme to further monetize the connection you're already paying them well for.

I refuse to believe that incumbent involvement in anything like this means anything other than another chance for them to make money by making customers pay more
