Matthew_Nickash: Sure, I'll go with Craig on this one. The focus needs to be strongly aimed at economic development.

Curt_Monash: Well, you still need regulation to ensure that the QoS rules aren't biased toward single providers. You have to let the content provider pay for certain QoS, rather than the consumer.

Matthew_Nickash: True, otherwise who ultimately sets QoS policy? Another oversight concern?

Jamey_Heary: We absolutely need a nationwide standards-based QoS implementation.

Jeff_Doyle: Jamie, I was thinking the same thing. But how do we block abuse of QoS standards?
