Do ISP/ASP/*SP's HAVE to provide services if someone knocks on the door requesting them or can they refuse for any reason what so ever?At my "day job", we routinely refuse service to a large number of people, based on our opinion as to whether the potential revenue stream is worth the expected overheads (labor, bandwidth, etc). It *alway* a *business decision* whether or not sell [a non-protected class] a product.
And it is also a business decision to risk being sued for refusing to provide a product to a protected class or someone claiming to be a member of a protected class. Even boards of NYC coops finally got that real-estate laws do not superceed Bill of Rights. Alex
