Re: Verizon's is actually the more-sensible approach
ISPs all have subscriber agreements than clearly set out the penalties for sending out unsolicited email. They are obliged to enforce those penalties.. if they can't and won't enforce them, it would be a PR nightmare for them as a company, and subsequently a serious legal problem, as spammers (and criminal activity) flocked to the ISP that just provided an IP and didn't care what you use it for.
the discussion has gone off topic though - Verizon is trying to stop spam in a technically naive way.. that both hinders those with legitmate needs for their own domain name, yet does little to stop spam originating from their network. |

That's not the same as blocking service access. If the ISP doesn't want to enforce its rules it should either not make them or it should suffer the consequences of not enforcing them. Blocking services is not a reasoned response to laziness or ineptitude.

I don't think so. This is where these types of actions take us. What ISPs do have consequences and set trends too. These issues need to be addressed. |
