Meh perhaps BBC / Sky should pay ISPs for allowing their traffic to be carried.
Very very very tricky one indeed this in so many ways. I'd also say that a lot of ISPs will struggle in a lot of ways.
These things can be averted somewhat though through clever use of shaping and caching, that'll probably be the way ntl go. As they are taking over Telewest I presume that the people in Telewest who'd rather let areas congest than restrict in any way the people who are ripping the **** out of the bandwidth there or even cache / traffic shape problematic protocols won't be ble to argue with that kind of approach.
It's not all doom and gloom
Hopefully the protocols won't be encypted, etc, else we'll end up with all traffic that the kit can't say is definitely NOT P2P being classified :s
