Phone companies _are_ different. They're common carriers. This gives them a lot of immunities (eg, the above exmaple), but it also gives them a corresponding lot of shackles. The consensus I've seen whenever it's been discussed is that we (FWVO "we") do _not_ want ISPs to become common carriers. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [email protected] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
