That's funny. The kind of service you're arguing against is exactly what I expect of my telephone, my cell phone, my pager, etc. Why is an Internet carrier supposed to be any different. Get with the real world Paul and quit fussing about completely meaningless nonsense.
Speaking of the "real world," ISP's are not considered to be common carriers by US law or any other country that I'm aware of. If we were, of course, the whole issue would be VERY different, and things like MAPS probably could not exist. ---------========== J.D.
