I was just reading in Wired a Lawrence Lessig piece about the same
thing. He was saying that a phone company lost a decision because
they were blocking a port that was being used for VoIP. I believe the
basic decision was that the FCC ruled that network providers can't
restrict users because they are competing with them. If they want to
be a network provider they have to be more neutral. I can't find it
on the web but I'll try to reread the article.
