I'm assuming that you really operate an ISP in Utah. And that you are willing to spend some time in jail at various times, have $10,000 or so for bail, and a few $100,000 for attorney fees -- none of which you'll get back even should you win.
wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to simply get a lawyer and an engineer in the same room and brainstorm until you came up with something which pretty-much-worked(tm) and was at least arguably compliant with the law? There have been a couple of ideas bandied about on this list which are arguably compliant and technically simple.
I've spent time in jail on principle. I'm glad to see others are still willing to stand up and be counted!
This isn't a principle for which I'd gladly go to jail. All I'm saying is that it isn't the doom&gloom you're portraying - Utah politicians being difficult doesn't mean the end of free speech forever.
