Not only has this not happened, but we aren't India. So no.

The only reason it will be unenforceable is that the government is planning to have ISPs enforce it, and they're not in a position to do so. Even if they require use of their own router for connection (which would be bad enough), users could work around it by installing their own on the LAN.

But it could be enforced by a prohibition addressed to users. A "wardriving" vehicle could go around and check for unsecured wireless, trace it to the access point and prosecute the owner.

There have been some proposals like this at the local level in USA (based on malware, ID theft, filesharing, etc.).

That's because the current administration has been doing a fine job of dismantling this country all by itself. If we every vote in competent leadership, they may bother to attack us again
