This doesn't make any sense. We've already seen major telecoms roll over and participate in massive illegal government surveillance. And that didn't involve a war on American soil. We already understand exactly how this works: major telecom firms have enormous contracts with the federal government and/or pending regulatory issues before federal agencies. That gives them a huge incentive to do what the government wants, especially since the government can credibly promise to indemnify their illegal acts. Given this history, WHICH JUST HAPPENED IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, there is no credible reason to believe that ISPs would "just say no" during a real national emergency.
