Taking this even further, what if an ISP partnered with Google/Facebook/Twitter/whatever to expose their services on an "internal" box, and thusly provide an extreme "basic internet" ISP package that didn't allow you to leave the ISP's network?

- lmz 15y agoThere are already "basic packages" like that where I live: free access to Facebook using Facebook Zero. Also BlackBerry access packages that only give you email & chat / Facebook access only, without web browser access to the entire Web.
