If these don't work, people will complain. Just imagine for a second that cable providers started a service that meant that every channel not owned by, say, Disney, had a bad picture and sound. Would this be good for the cable companies ? Would their customers be happy ?
So, the basic issue isn't relative priority. It's the absolute quality of the common-denominator/lower-priority service (i.e., the baseline). If the provider enforces a solid SLA for non-enhanced Internet, then who would be upset if they also provide an enhanced option? Of course, I don't currently have an SLA for my personal cable-modem or DSL services... Cheers, -Benson
