Hm. Perhaps I should re-read the IPC submission, but it seems to take 
a very technical approach to what is obviously a policy issue.

I believe that currently practices are generally acceptable (i.e. - 
the market is generally doing a good job with meeting demands here) 
but that we need to have the capability to deny service to users that 
are data-mining the interfaces. Accessibility concerns are generally 
not well-dealt with by current implementations, so I'd like to see 
some further discussion around those issues as well.
