These days are over. Since about 10 years people using the
internet have not a single idea about the technical side of it.
99.9% of all mail users would be more than happy when their
ISP would do anything to suppress their spam.
All I think is necessary here is for the ISP to
* Tell the end user what they are doing
* Give the user an opportunity to opt out or select different
settings
I think that it would be OK to require ISPs to get consent from
the end user.
What I want to avoid here is a situation where a Rupert Murdoch could
decide to only allow political groups that agree with Fox News to
send mail to customers.

I agree wholeheartedly with Phill
we must not let a precious few decide whats good or not good for us mere
punters.
I have run into some of the self appointed web based DemiGods and they are
rather unlikeable chaps. who firmly believe they know best.
unfortunately they usually get elected to government ;)
it is also a major mistake to believe what the majority will accept(mostly
through ignorance), is good enough for everybody.

I want to make those decisions myself, although I will probably use
third party info to do so.
Phill, I think that you are making the almost usual mistake
here in this
group that you assume that everybody on the internet has an
idea what they
are doing.
Actually this is ny main complaint about the IETF establishment.
They still think they have a right to control the future of the net
but they simply don't care about the ordinary user.
