While this could be a good thing for customers there are several technical considerations to look at.
1. There is not enough upstream bandwidth in a typical cable plant for several providers to provide their own service over a seperate cmts.
2. If multiple service providers try to offer their brand of "service" over the same cmts there wouldn't be a difference in service from what there is today (Except content) If one provider tried to sell a higher bandwidth package it would affect customers from all different providers on the same cmts.
3. Who pay's to maintain, power, and house the cmts ?
The way that dsl ir provided (Each ISP installing their own DSLAM) works great because there is a seperation of where the last mile to the customer terminates - The only leased telco facilty is the copper from the service address to the CO. If service providers had to share the same DSLAM and had a limit of bandwidth that could be provided dsl would be a huge disaster.
If the ISP's are operating as common carriers how are they going to "Force" them to look for this type of traffic ? If this is the case how long will it be before every company that has "IP" (MPAA, RIAA, Proprietary software vendors) forces isp's to monitor for traffic that matches their fingerprint ?
Ahh. The good old proxy servers. @Home had a good idea when they chose the sgi platform for that task. Inktomi traffic server really ran well on the dual CPU origin 200's.
Another easier was would be to simply blackhole the hostnames in your hosts file. (/etc/hosts in *nix or c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts in widows). Just use the format of :
0.0.0.0 doubleclick.net
This will prevent these sites from being contacted
Whether "Consumer" or "Professional" switch, the definition of a switch is that it performs layer 2 filtering decisions based on mac address. As long as the device is the only one on that segment (as many home setups would be), it could only sniff local traffic.

Nope.. It's still there in Office 2003

Considering that most camera phones are 1 MP, How accurate could this possibly be ?
I know I sure do ! I now make a habit of ignoring them and walking right past. I would like to see them grab me to make me show my receipt.
Isn't this one a little late ?
Verizon does not own level 3 - Level 3 is it's own publicly traded company (LVLT)

It seems that there is no scale on the map. This is pretty important so you can tell how much area you're actually looking at.
And then your only problem would be the excess humidity in the air !

Your link seems to go to a website that does not resolve..
According to xmfanstore.com you can use timetrax directly with the new DirectPCR : (DirectPCR)
