Perhaps it is 'interesting' because this issue has made it into
the mainstream popular press?

Steve,

I am not really trying to flame you but why is this article 
interesting?  It is really a poorly written rehash of the
filtering policy Sprint has discussed for the last 18 months.
I don't agree w/ Sprint's position but I don't see this 
article as being particularly interesting.  It's not even 
very well written.  If anything I find it annoying and 
irresponsible that the author did not seem, IMHO, to
research his topic very well.  As far as I can tell he neither
asked the opinion of Sprint, or any other major NSP, as to why
someone would do this.  Yet he had the call to title his
article "Sprint says ..."

I think this is sloppy, yellow, journalism.
