I had posted this in another thread, but thought it might be helpful here as well.
From the Gamescom 2009 vid:"paraphrased" near the 03:30 mark.
DUST 514, alone, will dictate the control of "Planets" within the Solar Systems.
The control of Planets will be one input, of many, that go into Sov.
DUST will become one of the inputs of the Sov system.
Thats my take. Check out the vid for yourself.

This thread needs some more speculation!
Fine. I think CCP is making this move to allow people, who don't want to train for 5 yrs to do anything worth while in Eve, to take part is this great Universe. To enrichen them.
The reason that people are against it is due to their lack of interpersonal relationship skills.
If they can't force them to be slaves with the threat to kick them out of their super cool Alliance, they don't think they will be able to control these insta gratification getting, non deserving, no life having, Pod Pilot wantabees.
Its all about the control stupid.
Oh yea, it might actually bring some diversity to the game, God forbid that.
I heard a rumor that CCP might make some extra spending money, but I'm waiting on confirmation of that.

So it will have some yet undetermined effect on sovereignty, that being said will it be possible to claim sov at all in a system if the Dust crowd refuse to come and fight in that particular system?
Watch the vid at this post.
Talks about what you ask a bit.

Game "not equal" RL.
Its a game, don't expect everything to be fully realistic.
Besides, how much of what people believed in the past, about the future, actually turned out correct?
Even much of the content made in the 80s was way off, and its worse as you go farther back.
Its absurd to think that it wouldn't still be the case.

My ultimate wet dream would be for Dust 514 to be in the EVE client itself, a completely seamless transition between space and planets... but I won't get everything I want.

It would be nice to be walking around your fav planet, notice a hostile fleet warpin to L1, L2, or etc, and suddenly need to take cover due the large amount of ordiance raining down on the Industry Complex near by.

Points taken, however:
a) How can you guarantee that the loss of control for EVE players will be "marginal"?
b) How can you be sure that this "expanded player base" will have a positive impact on how this game is played?
c) How can you justify the diversion of CCP resources away from a game enjoyed by entitled '03 douchebags like me and into a game that primarily serves as a revenue/population-booster when they could just as easily have found a way to expand EVE's current environmental offering?
A)Game Balance - It gets modifed as needed.
B)I'm not sure the current player base has a positive effect on this game.
C)The game has been in Development for 3yrs now, and we still get Expansions for Eve that many are still able to complain about.

Some people view the glass as half full.
Others view the glass as half empty.
And then we have the people that emphatically scream that the water should never have been poured into their glass to begin with as, to them, it now poses a very real risk of them drowning.
Such are the forums of EVE.
Ah, yes. I think this sums it up nicely.

A better look at the Video of last years fanfest 2008, look at time line 12.00 onwards for a more detailed version of the video.
http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/49239
check out time line 8.13 for a glimpe of a possible Weapon to be used in DUST, Clue! Its on the table.
I had forgotten about that scene at the end of the vid.
I had orginally thought it was from another game, not by CCP.
Looks to be our first view of DUST 514, last year. We just didn't know it.

Why is it when I read this thread I imagine a Dog chasing its tail, endlessly? 
It's gonna happen. Probably the first step of many in this direction, considering the Devs like to add content, then keep expanding on it in the future.
3 yrs Development = inevitable (then adjusted as needed)
But, if you want to keep running your head into the wall, be my guest.

Just an idea.
Since DUST will be "one" of the things that determine if you have Sov in a system.
How about, if you have Sov and control the majority of the Planets, you get a better eff on your towers in regard to fuel usage.
If you don't control the majority of your planets, it costs you more to fuel them.
Maybe make it so it is worth controling all the planets, or taking one away from the current Sov holder.
Controlling the Planets help make things easier, but not required. Kind of like having large insurgent forces or out right rebellions on the planets in your system.
