Switzerland has made similar requests and ISPs in .CH have deployed acl to block the sites and remove them from DNS.
So long as there no criminal penalties associated with the half-assed solutions I suppose it doesn't really matter. Gov'ts will see that their requests are pointless and ineffective. It's in cases like the State-of-PA law where criminal penalties were applicable that things get dicey. (and yes, CP is bad news, and yes gov'ts no matter the locality can and do make silly laws that are sometimes counter productive to their intentions)

It appears that Italy has ordered Italian ISPs to block access to a number of Internet Gambling sites. It would be interesting to see how the Italian ISPs are handling this, what with dynamic DNS and all that...
