From: "Stephen Sprunk" <stephen@sprunk.org> Common carrier status exists for this very reason. Unfortunately, it probably means we'll have to stop filtering things like spam and DoS, since filtering on content inherently violates common carrier protection -- see the smut suit against AOL a few years ago.
Allow me to continue to pummel the poor horse -- What about the customer that requests that the telco block calls from certain numbers? I don't think that affects common carrier status, but IANAL. apl
