Re: Restricted Internet Service said by baineschile:A pro-consumer, mildly naive point of view. If I invest all this money in my infastructure, I should be able to generally dictate what goes on with it, Not if you want to sell service to people to access the internet. If you want to market it as "Censored Monitored controlled semi-access to part of the Internet we deem is ok" well then so be it.
But if you are marketing it as Internet access, then no, you really should NOT control where people go with it. What you're proposing it like the Telephone company selling service that won't dial competitor's or non-affilates businesses, TV's that won't tune to channels that don't participate in some sort of payola plan, or cars that won't run on certain gasoline unless it's from a certain company station.
All which should be illegal, and rightly so.
