that's EASY: there is hyperconcern for the welfare of children in Utah,
Finally, someone who recognizes what this bill is all about. It merely asks ISPs to provide parents with a filtering tool that cannot be overridden by their children because the process of filtering takes place entirely outside the home. Once Utah ISPs come up with a good way to do this, I suspect there will be a market for such services elsewhere in the USA as well. And while the law focuses on the blocking aspect, i.e. blacklisting, let's not forget that the same service can also be used in a whitelisting mode. Can you imagine an Internet service in which parents subscribe to various "channels" by choosing from a menu of whitelists? I can. This is not your father's Internet any more... --Michael Dillon
