I do agree that it would be better if customers took on some responsibility for their own regional bulk transfer outside of the ISP, not least because it will improve their privacy.

It won't replace the ISP or "the internet" but runs parallel to it and bridges in and out of it as needed. >> Clearly we are on different sides of the fence on this issue. > > of course, you are a user who wants everything for nothing, you know how > many times ive heard your line of reasoning before over the past 10 > plus years?
