Yes, the first time I read about it, I was well into the article  
before I realized that they
were not talking about some new initiative in the Confoederatio  
Helvetica, and stopped wondering if
the EFF had become a International Organization and John Perry Barlow  
would no longer pay income taxes.

On a related note, Jason Livingood and Rich Woundy of Comcast were at  
the recent IETF, particularly in the
the ALTO and TANA BOFs, where some progress was made I think. Jason  
provided this link for insight into Comcast
Network Management Policy, which might be of interest here :
