I point to the current trend of parents watching and smiling, doing nothing as their kids destroy people's stores and restaurants. ISPs are literally doing the exact same thing when it comes to coddling their customers.
They can *see* the unruly children, but *choose* to ignore them. That's the difference.
I call shenanigans on providers not seeing their unruly users. They have no problems with bandwidth caps, or doing the dirty work of copyright police, both of which require some level of network monitoring per customer.
Keep in mind, most of the folks on this list are not representative of the average consumer in terms of the skill-sets which are relevant in this problem space.
I'm very well aware of that. I've got a fairly decent sized user base that I consult for, including small biz and end users, so I'm painfully aware of how... less then spectacular consumers are when it comes to even the most basic computer tasks. -- Brielle Bruns The Summit Open Source Development Group http://www.sosdg.org / http://www.ahbl.org
