Something's missing here...

...as I look through the various petitions and briefs in the Vuze proceeding which the FCC is set to consider tomorrow (but not vote on) in Cambridge, MA. 

Of all the companies with something to lose from a bad "net neutrality" policy, it's Apple. Why? Apple is positioning themselves as a provider of downloadable, on-demand media on AppleTV. The major cable companies and telcos are doing the same through their set top boxes.

What scares me? When Steve Jobs announces HD downloads, some executive at a cable company or telco has to wonder how much bandwidth this will take up, and how will pricing affect their video on demand/pay per view rental service which is already in place. 

I wonder if Apple has an ace in the hole, a backdoor agreement, or something that is keeping them from stepping in for net neutrality. Were they compromised by their closed iPhone position? I don't think so.

Anyone else wondering why the 800lb gorilla of digital downloads isn't weighing in on how those downloads can be restricted to "protect users?"
