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.
I don't think this point is the least bit relevant to this mailing list.

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.
