ISP's are subject to 'know your customer' requirements similar to those imposed on banks. not just the PATRIOT act but also CALEA.
As far as I know, ISP's are specifically excluded from CALEA despite various law enforcement agencies to lobby the FCC to rule otherwise.
Ah, you aren't thinking like a true totalitarian,
Yeah, I've always been bad at that. Logic keeps getting in the way. heh.
A more useful analogy might be the public roads, since they are paid for with public monies but to use them a citizen has to provide her own equipment and must meet some fairly minimal rules for licensing financial responsibility and road worthiness.
As I said in another message, I have no issue with having to go to the CC and show Oregon ID. Seems fair and logical to me.
