First are the consumers willing to pay for a "safer" internet DSL/dial/isdn?
Why should they have to?
Because it costs money to mitigate the attacks coming from their infected machines. It takes people and people want to be paid. Given a larger security abuse team we could do more.
That's a reason abusers should have to pay cleanup fees. It's not a reason responsible or naive users should pay more for a safer internet unless they choose to. Owen -- If this message was not signed with gpg key 0FE2AA3D, it's probably a forgery.
