I'd be keen to see the intersection of that set of six with the set of ISPs planning to intercept for advertising. Although as BT and Virgin have both sent letters on the matter recently, perhaps not that surprised.
So now they appear to want to act as investigator, judge and jury over file sharing. Oh and I suppose they'll HAVE to intercept the communications to do that. And not just on port 80. As anyone who legally [down/up]loads Linux distributions over P2P will know, you can use any port you like.
Bring on the self signed certificate - and then they'll know I'm a terrorist because I'm encrypting all my traffic. I really do hate the technology that pays my mortgage, when it gets into the wrong hands.
