True - without an open web, arguably your internet-based HTML5 app could be metered by Comcast or the other service providers - hence it would have been better to create your own isolated app for the iPhone, etc. But what about apps that rely in some part on a web service to exchange data with your server? I'm guessing that Comcast could easily meter that data stream as well, so even a specifically-built iPhone app might fall prey to their meddling if it relies on an outside, hosted data source.
