Re: ISP data collection from home routers

[PJ Capelli via NANOG <nanog () nanog org>]

Most end users (at least in the US) don't have a choice as many jurisdictions have sold a franchise (monopoly) to one 
provider.  Either they sign or they don't get internet.

Perhaps 5G will broaden the number of providers end users can choose from, and not be forced into this kind of 
contract.  But why do you think any ISP would agree to not collect this information?
