The end result is that in the near future it will be much
harder, or impossible for network operators to collect
statistics based on traffic type or to filter particular
types of traffic without being able to dig into the payload
itself and see what type of traffic is passing.

Some people see this as a problem, some do not.

Isn't that the whole point of running a VPN connection?

Yes. What I'm saying is network operators are slowly forcing
everyone to run _everything_ over a VPN like service. That's fine,
but it makes network operators unable to act on the traffic at the
same level they can today.
