Public ISPs have been testing these types of systems for over 5 years. What sorts of differences can you think of that would explain why public ISPs have found them not very effective?
Public ISPs have been using walled gardens for a long time for user registration and collecting credit card information. So they know how to implement walled gardens. But what happens when public ISPs use it for infected machines?
Many already do, successfully.
When I say many I actually mean I know of 6. 3 of them huge, 3 of them relatively small.
Interesting use of the word "many." Many people use Multics.

I know of "many" more that have tested it and returned it to various vendors. There are several tough problems people are still trying to solve.
Yes, but that is because the successful ISPs currently often implement their own if they have the resources and R&D power. The really big ones have it automated, the small ones have it limited to be "activated by an abuse desk person". Gadi.
