Well I'm glad my water supplier filters that, and I'm glad my electricity provider filters out spikes. While I personally don't want my ISP anywhere near my ip packets, the average person just wants to pay for Internet from an ISP and feel like the ISP is in some way providing more that just data. As the Internet evolves into a utility like water and electricity, more regulation, oversight and consumer protections are inevitable.
