Another article has come out on the same topic:

I want the whole community to be aware of the comments that I made to
the press yesterday.  Clearly, these comments do not represent IETF
consensus in any way.  They are my opinion, and the reporter was told to
express them as my opinion.

One thing that I said was not captured quite right.  The article says:
"With services that require certain speeds to operate smoothly, such as
Internet telephony, calls are given precedence over TV, Housley said."
I actually said that DiffServ can be used to make sure that traffic
associated with applications that require timely delivery, like voice
and video, to give preference over traffic associated with applications
without those demands, like email.

The whole article is copied below, and it is online here:
