This entire article is based on the statement that "90% of bandwidth is being used by 5% of users for p2p sharing". Seems baseless, am I the only one that is disappointed with the reporting of our newspaper industry?

Well they are in the media business. With the complete lack of journalistic integrity in the MSM today, we can only expect them to spin it for their own divisive purposes.

I read a few articles, none of which mentioned the anticompetitive concerns of throttling streaming video and VO/IP.
