This would be a very excellent reason to begin a movement to some form of light encryption for 100% of Web traffic, so that even though it would be trivial to break and examine, it would be minimal enough that servers would experience little added strain, yet ISPs wouldn’t have sufficient time to crack, inspect, insert, and rebuild the packets without making their service so bad that it became unusable.

I have no doubt that this will be chalenged in court, if the company doesn’t settle before, and I’m sure that it won’t stand. But, if I’m wrong, the obvious solution to this is to have all sites enable SSL by default. This will put a greater strain on web servers, but it will make spying at the ISP level a little more tricky.

I believe that AT&T was going to do something like this in 2001 or 2002. If I remember correctly, it was calling the system Sharinga. New York was going to be its testbed, but they canceled the project.

It’s time for fiber optic open source neighborhood area networks.
