Verso Technologies (www.verso.com) announced the rollout of a "carrier-grade applications filter" that can block so-called bandwidth drains such as Skype, P2P messaging, streaming media, and instant messaging.

So I pay for the service but I can't use what I want over it? Good call Verso. I know of at least one other provider who was considering this; they may well still be. I hope they don't go down this route...

As David suggests:

Clearly the best network is one that has no users and supports no apps
