perhaps;  the question is, if the ICTA isn't doing what you need it to, how can you help it (constructively)?
this isn't -- or shouldn't be -- a blame exercise;  as techies (i'm assuming most people here are), your first natural instinct is usually (!) to fix the problem.
when you start playing the blame game, you lose objectiveness;  when you do that, your integrity as an impartial tester/observer/researcher/blah is compromised.

if you follow through on something similar to that which i wrote earlier, and take that to the ICTA, do you really believe it'll be *that* easy for them to dismiss your findings.
especially if it's done in an open, scientific manner (my punt again to get a CS student to do this as part of a class exercise in networking) - as opposed to someone just screaming"  ZOMG, dis downloadz suxorz".  and if testing of something like this, is going to be done in an open, scientific* (those magic words..) manner, then who better than the impartial, techno-savvy members of the community - like the people on this list.

if the ICTA does dismiss the testing, don't you think the press would find that interesting?
