"Service may only be used in the U.S. and you may not use Service to host any type of server, personal or commercial."
- What exactly is a server??? Is it anything that accepts an inbound connection and responds? Look out, that covers a lot of applications and devices!
This one concerns me. A lot of ISP's have this clause, but they don't sell static IP addresses. What does Qwest think that people want static IP's for? Why offer them for sale if they don't want you to actually take advantage of them? I can certainly see them not allowing a commercial website, or a service that has high usage (of course, defining when the line is crossed may be difficult). But personal websites, personal email servers, inbound connection services (VPN, ssh, etc), small personal game servers, etc. should be allowed.

If they start enforcing this I will either find another ISP or drop DSL completely and switch to a wireless ISP.
My interpretation of the intent is that they want to be able to point to this agreement and shut down people that are using large amounts of bandwidth. (Of course I'm interpreting based on how things work with my Comcast connection, people can run servers, they just have to avoid being a nuisance.)
