Saint Louis, MO | The real question is...
How much will the ISPs that choose to use this trash service gouge their customers that dont choose to "opt in"? |

I suspect that this will work as effectively as the DoNotCall.gov list for me..
1. Existing customers will see a rate increase...unless they renew their ToS, which will include Opt-In
2. New customers will have Opt-In written as part of their ToS when they sign up for service.
3. Any 'new' feature or change in service will automatically require you to 'opt in'.
Last time I saw something similar to this opt/out was for cable in Canada through Cogeco back in 1999. You were 'given' bonus channels for free for 3 months. If you didn't call to opt out, you were automatically billed extra for the new channels after the 3 months were up. Government squashed it quickly.

It might be interesting how Obama changes things, with the democrats refusing anything from Lobbyists and special interests "To the extent we know of anyways", maybe something we want will get passed without corporations putting it into their favor. |

Meaning I pay more the more I want my data protected, right? Genius! |
