Kasparov has been involved actively in Russian politics, granted from the vocal minority since 2005. He brought together an opposition coalition in early 2007. Some of Russians opposition views can be read here.
There is much more than fraud in Russian politics.
Having used Ellacoya's products I can offer first hand knowledge of what they are talking about. Their hardware uses DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) to look for application signatures not TCP/IP port assignments.
Packet shaping (or whatever the current buzzword is today) is accomplished by DPI looking at the application signature and rate-limiting on that criteria, it does not care what TCP/IP or UDP port the application is using.
Their product has very fine-grained reporting functionality and reports on groups of applications, not (just) port traffic.
I would tend to agree with Ellacoya's statement, they have no agenda towards the type of traffic moved, unlike Oversi who manufactures a P2P caching product.
