Does anyone know what this group is really about and how it might  
actually impact real networks ?

Behind the lobby are AT&T, Cisco Systems, Microsoft, NBC Universal,  
Viacom and the Songwriters Guild of America. Among other things, the  
lobby, calledArts+Labs, says "network operators must have the  
flexibility to manage and expand their networks to defend against net  
pollution and illegal file-trafficking which threatens to congest and  
delay the network for all consumers."
