Dave,

The pushback to any "blocking" or "derating" measures by ISPs is 
usually pretty emotional and hits the media like a firestorm.  So most 
ISPs have pretty much eliminated "denial of service" as a tactic.  
Rather the opportunity is to transform best effort networks into tiered 
priority networks.  And generate revenue from the higher priority 
tiers.  P2P at high priority.  Streaming video at high priority.  Or 
enabling a parent to establish a policy of "my daughter's P2P at low 
priority" (both home network and access network).
