The end-user consents by not moving to another ISP.
That is where your core political beliefs clearly differ from mine.
I believe in personal freedom,
So do I.
there is no choice of cable company in my town, they are the only
provider of high speed Internet. I believe they should be a common
carrier by virtue of their monopoly status.
In that case they should be allowed to provide _only_ IP-level
connectivity, because that's all they have a monopoly on. You could
then get your email from any email provider you wanted; that's clearly
not a monopoly.
Every individual should have the right to become a full citizen
of the net. That means owning and controlling their own Internet
identity - they should each have their own domain name.
If you don't want to spend the $10 you can get a free third-level
domain. So what's the problem?
