28 vendors they asked to participate in testing only five agreed

Based on the response to Internet Evolution's ground-breaking test of P2P filters, both ISPs and the music industry will have to wait a while before the power tools they need to beat back bandwidth hogs or stymie copyright violators are widely available.
So how did they come to the conclusion that tools don't exist when they only tested 5 of 28 products? The fact that 23 vendors refused doesn't mean their products don't work - only that they don't want their technology out there being examined where hackers can get an early crack at their code.

And of the 5 they did test, 2 passed the test.
Uh, sure. I didn't see any indication that the source code or any other part of the software was made available by Internet Evolution to the public.
