If an ISP allows some anonymous usage with lets say a rate limiter or free email, how long will it take until spammers start abusing that and ISPs will begin to shut down such services?


The ISP has to protect their reputation, holding the user accountable is one
way to do that. Another would be to implement a rate limiting scheme at the
end user's machine.

End user anonymity is not an intrinsic problem, it is a problem for certain
proposed solutions. I dont believe that requirements should be fitted to
solutions.


I think that the requirements should state that proposal authors should address anonimity and privacy issues, not that they MUST support anonimity.
