There's a world of difference between "sell" and "actually provide".  IMHO, 
QoS is sold by many networks, but not actually provided (at the 
router).  What IS provided is a system to give the QoS paying Customer 
credit if they A) notice they didn't get the quality of service their 
contract specified, and B) they request a credit.
