Thank you for the nice explanation. As you know, I pretty much respect you, but in this case I absolutely cannot agree with you. Imho, any ISP should refuse with all power it has to even install such a global filtering mechanism into his network. We all know that the topics change (child porn, nazis, terrorism, copyrighted data, unwanted politics, hacking, crypted data, your site) (maybe even in that order), as time goes on. So what you propose is a central administrated filtering mechanism, which is one of the worst things that can happen. Just thing of RIAA or chinese government controlling (as in "political influence") those boxes. I personally will propose every ISP that implements that strategy for the BigBrotherAward, killing the last freedom in the internet.
