| Unconstitutional?
Sounds like an unconstitutional interference in interstate commerce. They might not like Internet porn, but it is legal, and there are some non-porn sites (like agnostic or atheist sites) which I am sure some in Utah would consider "inappropriate" for a G rating.

Here | Exactly. This violates the interstate commerce clause not to mention it asks for a Herculean effort from the ISPs that more than likely would fail in all regards. |

No, it's voluntary. ISPs that didn't want to participate could continue being regular, non-censored ISPs.
The only way there would be a problem would be if there was pressure to join the program or a lack of uncensored ISPs. |

If this law passes, I wonder how Utopia would be treated.

It is already built-in as an option for IE7 browser.
IE7 content blocking options
There are already dozens of standalone products already available to block sites from children.
Standalone products like NetNanny
And even DNS services that block porn sites like the one opendns.com runs.
Open DNS DNS blockinng
And these products will react faster to changes than anything an ISP will do. And the parents can use a combination of the above tools to make it harder for kids to bypass all the filters. And you can also put filters in to the wireless routers as well to block keywords and domain names.

not to mention most ISP customers are on big national companies like Comcast and Telco. i dont think Utah is going pressure the execs at Comcast Tower in philly to sign onto censoring the customers in one state to look good.
