There's a world of difference between "sell" and "actually provide". IMHO,
QoS is sold by many networks, but not actually provided (at the
router). What IS provided is a system to give the QoS paying Customer
credit if they A) notice they didn't get the quality of service their
contract specified, and B) they request a credit.
