True, but I suspect that the recent P4P announcements from Verizon may also have put some fear of God into Comcast. Verizon is showing a pleasantly rational attitude towards P2P apps, focusing on making them work better on their network. The implication is that, if Comcast spends too much time pushing the rope of fighting *against* P2P, they could wind up lapped by Verizon.

So I think this is a case of enlightened self-interest on Comcast's part. The hearings were probably a useful wake-up call for them, but they were going to have to move in this direction pretty soon anyway...

I suspect part of Verizon's enlightened attitude stems from the advantage they have with their faster, more modern network. They can let Comcast twist in the breeze while bragging that their FTTH topology is so fast that they don't need to stoop to Comcast's tactics.
