This is literally the biggest issue of humanity - it's extremely hard to get people to coordinate. Doing so usually requires forcing various incentives to align. In this case, you'd most likely need a direct government involvement to make all ISPs behave.
- oneeyedpigeon 10y ago> it's extremely hard to get people to coordinate That's exactly what government regulation addresses. A truly global approach would be nigh-on impossible, but it should be possible to get all ISPs in the states to come on board, for example.

The monopolistic structure of the economy is a problem the US suffers much more than other countries (by definition at the cost of the consumer). (Although the tendency to reinforce monopolies naturally applies to all countries.)
