Far be it from me to encourage the fostering of bureaucracy, but this is one case where a consortium with a self-governing body might actually be in order. Imagine an industry-wide QOS board. The board solicits input and transparently sets standards for types of traffic and the priority they recommend giving them. Then providers who have signed on to the charter agree to prioritize exactly according to these standards. The board reconvenes annually to examine current technological trends and review and update their recommendations. Possible? Palatable?
