I think this is important to point out:
Comcast wasn't merely blocking traffic. They were actively sending reset packets. They were creating fraudulent traffic intended to mess up your BitTorrent downloads. I don't think this sets an example/precedent about traffic shaping or throttling. Comcast was pretty blatant here and was actively sending false data.
I guess time will tell whether this is a bigger precedent in the fight for net-neutrality.
