I don't think they realize the full ramifications of doing something like this, and the sheer implausibility of it.
Two quick obvious points:
01. If any ISP believes that they are going to keep their customers when they knowingly monitor what they do, they are full of themselves and foolish to think that. Remember in the late 90's when there were so many local ISPs you didn't know what to do? Well this will just open that door back up for people once those same entrepreneurs got in and got out last time.
02. People will find ways around it. They always do. It's been proven time and time again that no matter what anyone does in regards to the computer world to make something "hack-proof" or whatever ... there is always someone out there spending day and nite to prove them wrong and then open up the floodgates some other way.
This comes on the heels (probably hand-in-hand) of NBC being a major reason as to why the current Writer's Strike is happening. I know they would like to think that they are so steeped in popular culture and also bankrolled in it - that they can actually do things like this without any backlash, but who the fuck are they, or anyone else, kidding?
