There *are* an increasing number of providers who think that "walled garden"
is a feasible business model - not all of whom are open about that fact with
customers.

The recent trend towards "Deep Inspection firewalls" is really a code word
for "so much stuff is now tunneled over port 80/443 to get through firewalls
that we may as well just treat them as IP tunneling/encapsulation schemes..."
