The concerns I see with this are that this would have to use DPI, very  
likely installed in-line, in order to function.  Former FCC Chairman  
Martin referred to this as opening customer’s mail to look at what  
sort of letter is inside.   In addition to that, it is hard to imagine  
that ISPs would want to be in the middle of making decisions for users  
about relative priorities of different applications. One user may  
really want VoIP treated best, while for another it is P2P or gaming.   
These choices may be better left to users themselves to sort out.
