At least in the US, we know we can't trust the ISPs to "do the right thing". Maybe things are different elsewhere but I cannot support this idea in the US. Sorry.
- ianai 9y agoit seems too much to both not support a thing directly and also decry potential support as unfit.
- na85 9y agoThe ISPs would not support it. They would take the levy and find some clever loophole to steal it or to use it to reinforce their own walled gardens. You're talking about possibly the scummiest, least moral companies in the global tech industry.
- damnfine 9y agoLARGE ISPs. The small ones are fighting tooth and nail to survive and bring the local people better internet. It has to be folly to be in it for the money at many local scales unfortunately. Thats why I get one choice of 2mb internet here. There are local guys working out of a pickup truck laying copper and fiber to local business. #notallisps
