In the USA last year under Bush (cursed be his name) a new law was passed enabling this legally - it just hasn't be carried out yet. I posted about it on the EF, and you can find it generally on the internet under internet neutrality. The real problem is the big companies own the cables, switching areas, main servers and satellites, etc. We can all have our own computers, but they own the things that connect them. I believe THIS will be the final battleground for democracy and 4 years sounds about right......
