Just a quibble - in what way are video and voice "more important" than file transfer (ie, everything else that isn't gaming)?
More interesting to cable and phone companies who want to make money off VOIP or on-demand video, yes.
But "more important" in general? To whom or to what?

To whom? How about a guy who's VoIP connection degrades everytime some kids on the block decide to download the latest-teenie pop video?

I mean "more important" as "representing the fastest growing part of the traffic mix". When we're designing protocols, we try to optimize the typical case, and it seems reasonably clear that the future of multi-use IP networking is going to be voice and some form of video streaming.
