I would also point out that Qwest does this walled-garden approach for their customers (have been for at least 5 years now? DonS@qwest could clarify) and they've seen success with it. Aliant in .ca also has some fairly aggressive anti-malware works installed. There are places where this sort of thing works well, planned and engineered properly. I think Qwest, at least, made some of their reasoning and design/goals publicly available for a time as well.
I think Jonathan Curtis did something similar at Bell, but I only spoke with him about it for a couple of second two years ago, as Rio was rather distracting. So am unsure.
Apparently, marketing departments like the idea of being able to send customers that need to pay them to a walled garden. It also saves on tech support costs. Security being the main winner isn't the main supporter of the idea at some places.
