Some people have compared unwanted Internet traffic to water pollution, and proposed that ISPs should be required to be like water utilities and be responsible for keeping the Internet water crystal clear and pure.
What's the networking equivalent of "remember to build your water intake *upstream* of your sewage plant"? Or, more accurately - "how do you get all those people with private wells^Wcomputers to *not* insist on building their leach fields uphill of their wells?". There's a limit to what an ISP can do to make it "crustal clear and pure" without an incredibly intrusive presence. The technically easy way is what many corporations do - Borg the boxes into an Active Directory domain, and impose fascist controls via Group Policy (for all of my anti-MS ranting, I'll grant the AD/GP stuff *is* pretty slick ideas for corporate PC lockdown). But how do you sell that idea to the consumer user?
