Congestion has always been used as a red herring to engage in anti-competitive behavior, be it Skype or a million other bogeyman. All without having to provide a shred of actual raw network data. Anyone who doesn't at least recognize the threat these models could potentially pose to the Internet either is playing willfully ignorant because they stand to profit, or they haven't really been paying attention.
Agreed Karl, and the divide seems to be between businessmen who want profit, and network engineers who want to build better networks, and nary the two will ever meet. Oil and water as far as the "perfect ISP net" is concerned.
Oh and the users, who fund all of this, well they can just sit there and eat dirt.
