Hrmm. Here are the types of traffic that will be delayed at the
beginning of the trial.

    * File Access (Bulk transfers of data such as FTP)
    * Network Storage (Bulk transfers of data for storage)
    * P2P (Peer to peer protocols)
    * Software Updates (Managed updates such as operating system updates)
    * Usenet (Newsgroup related)



Why the heck would they want to delay OS updates? That seems rather silly to me.
