From the Description:
"""
/ During the occasional times the network is congested, this new
technology automatically ensures that all time-sensitive Internet
traffic --- such as web pages, voice calls, streaming videos and gaming
--- moves without delay. Less time-sensitive traffic, such as file
uploads, peer-to-peer and Usenet newsgroups, may be delayed
momentarily...' Sounds like throttling to me."
"""
/Sounds like QoS to me. I don't see a problem at all with giving
downloads a lower priority on the network than voice, streaming videos,
and gaming. They should have been doing this years ago when QoS
prioritization became common on most LANs and WANs.
Do you really want your VoIP applications to stutter just so that your
neighbor can download the latest episode of Lost from thepiratebay 20
seconds faster?

Because of the way YouTube stutters I thought they were already doing this.
They have also already been caught "managing" p2p and admit to blocking
ports, upload speed caps and other unpleasant breakage. Didn't they learn
from Comcast?
