The issue is use of dpi to eliminate congestion stemming from p2p's natural unfairness behind the unbundling interface.

Nothing at all in DPI that makes it wrong, deeply evil etc.Which is why the political debates over it bother me. Declaring dpi as evil and regulating it could very well limit security of the future; not to mention the fact that DPI tends to be extremely vague in definition dependent upon its implementation.Jack
