If I am an ISP, I'm free to have whatever AUP I want. IF clients don't like the AUP, they are free to shop elsewhere.

The net is a loose connection of public and private links. If I own a private link and I decide that I'm going to route you into /dev/null...that's what I'll do. There isn't a thing you can do about it.
I can lobby government to pass laws protecting my Rights from being abused by commercial interests. Those rights can be included in constitutions and Bills of Rights thereafter extending protections I expect everywhere else to new media and emmerging technologies. Don't Tread on Me... Great motto from the great American Revolution. You remember... the one that secured the rights and freedoms of millions of people and has served as an example to the world, eh?
