The way I see it is it gives non-tech parents and businesses, that can't afford or are to stupid to deploy a filter system themselves, the false sense of security that they won't have to monitor their kids or employees. Supposedly, the ISP will do it for them.

Thats where the problem is. It's not the job of the ISP to be a "parent". And just who draws the line in the grey areas that will arise from such a blatantly stupid regulation?

Like I said before, more problematic than it's worth!~

All the crap big brother pushes on the providers will make everyone pay more. Let those that want the service pickup the cost or run it themselves.

Easy solution: Big brother designs filtering s/w and you install it. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19713435 Mon, 31 Dec 2007 12:36:56 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19713400 S_engineer : I can appreciate the premise, I don't see the application being well thought out. There are small businesses as well as homes that don't want to be bothered with trying to monitor what people are doing. But I see this as more problematic in other areas than it's worth!

Who will decide what is "acceptable" content?
