I believe regulation of peering among the largest networks in the U.S.
is a question of when and how, not if. The more these incidents make
it into the news and attract the attention of public policy-makers,
the closer that "when" may become. Comcast is either very clever, or
very stupid, for timing this in such a way that it has been spun into
an issue of who is streaming what into their customers' living rooms.
