What I read was that as long as a video offerer marks its traffic and is certified in a few other ways, anyone can send video content cap-free. No I don't know what the criteria are. Does anyone here? I also think I remember that there is no significant cost to certification, i.e. this is not a paid fast lane. If this is all true, this doesn't bother me, and could do everyone a favor by getting definitions clearer and getting traffic marked.
