Dave - For IP if you wish.

I posted a very similar version of this on Slashdot a few hours ago:

"I can confirm that we have not made any shift in our network management policy yet and have not implemented the 
protocol agnostic approach that we announced two weeks ago. At that time, we said we would migrate to this new system 
before the end of the year.  We have contacted the PhD students and associate professors at the University of Colorado 
to better understand their analysis."

And the following went up on the University of Colorado Web page about an hour ago (here's a link and statement below) 
so wanted to make sure you were aware of this as well:

http://systems.cs.colorado.edu/mediawiki/index.php/Broadband_Network_Management 
<http://systems.cs.colorado.edu/mediawiki/index.php/Broadband_Network_Management>

"SPECIAL NOTICE:  Comcast has approached us to better understand our test, the equipment we used and the results of our 
analysis.  We understand that their current network management techniques should not be producing the results we found 
and that they are not blocking access to any Web sites or email applications.  We are committed to working together and 
will update our analysis once we have additional information.  Thank you."

Let me know if you have any other questions.
