curious (well not really) that it is only consumer grade. nothing about business grade, of even a deliniation as to where "pro-sumer" falls. if this is a big brother situation then the consumer only thing makes perfect sense. it also drives users back to isp supplied hardware which means more rental fees, so more money CEOs.
