That definition would need refining a lot - there are legitimate reasons for deploying DPI kit.
For example Plusnet use it to ensure that gaming and VOIP traffic is always given higher priority than general browsing and email and these are given higher priority than P2P. DPI is required to differentiate between this such as genuine gaming and P2P applications attempting to circumvent controls by trying to look like gaming. Plusnet are totally open about how the Ellacoyas prioritise the different traffic types and do not use them to look at actual data contents, just to determine the traffic type.
