Message-ID: <008b01c406e0$8b96bfd0$1214dd80@corp.emc.com> From: exibar at thelair.com (Exibar) Subject: Comcast using IPS to protect the Internet from their home user clients? I know the "feeling" behind what you typed, but you really don't mean what you typed. Filtering should not be done by the ISPs, they should provide a pipe, and that's it. Ok, there are some circumstances, like a DoS against your equipment, where the ISP is the only means of blocking the traffic, that's a different story. If the ISP's start filtering traffic, scanning E-mail for viruses, etc, they are getting close to censorship in my eyes. They're also removing themselves from "common carrier" status in the eyes of the law too I would think. Make those services OPTIONAL for those that want it, great, I'm all for it. But if I want a link out to the internet, that isn't filtered or anything I should be able to get it.

PS: I'm completely okay with them filtering as long as they allow me to tunnel my traffic to corporate servers. Whatever it takes to get rid of spam is fine with me...
