Right.  Now you'll pay twice.  You'll need to subscribe to Eternal Sept
etc (I happen to like Solani, by the way).  But you'll also have to pay
your ISP for the extended package in which non-port 80 traffic isn't
filtered ...

The only upside I can think of is that it might possibly open the
market for smaller ISPs who offer varied services.  Of course those
smaller ISPs will have to negotiate agreements with the owners of the
fiber/copper lines, who will almost certainly price them into oblivion.

That's what happens when you set up your systems to favor
monopolies ... you get a monopoly.

Good governance.  It's nice, if you can get it.
