you won't have the option to change services to a isp that allows more freedom in its use. our country is in a stranglehold by the current isp's thanks to the regulations on ISP territories. a company can't simply offer its services if another dsl or cable company is already in place in an area. i knew eventually this would lead to problems like this, it was only a matter of time. isp's are already gouging their customers and will soon be raising prices again to offset the cost of this. no one will be able to do jack about it in protest other than abandon the internet entirely.

"A company can't simply offer its services if another dsl or cable company is already in place in an area."
Is this a state thing where you live?
From my house... I have AT&T, Verizon, Cinergy Metronet, and XFinity.
And Metronet has been expanding its services 1-2 counties at a time for several years.

and just how WOULD they be able to offer those services? I'm interested.
the wire on the pole is the wire on the pole only one company CAN own it. Do you think that every provider is suddenly going to automagically create some fantastic fiber-coax network from the ground up in even just major cities (in hopes of recovering the insane costs at some kind of relatively swallowable timeframe) forget suburbia and the outlying areas?

That's odd. Here you can only get Verizon or Bright House. If you go to the next county over they only have AT&T and Comcast.

the local Bell has their wire, the cable company has their wire, the electric company has its wire.

This will be simple to circumvent, they catch you by the name of the file, and maybe the properties of the file. So we start using pig latin (for example sake) for file names and they won't be finding any copyrighted content being shared.

This is way more intrusive than any law would ever be... you are protected from the government going through your crap via the 5th amendment (they at least need judicial approval)... you are protected from the company via your contract or ToS.
I am guessing that the RIAA threatened to sue them as knowingly aiding and abetting criminal activity or something... probably threatened them with a huge number... some figure that represented how much gets stolen.
