The idea of blocking a whole ISP is unlikely to fly. I suspect that an
admin placing such a block without agreement from the arbcom and the
Foundation (cos you *know* they'd get the crap for it) would be (a)
quickly reversed (b) given a slap round the head with a trout at the
very least.

Attention-getting blocks have worked on bodies the size of
universities before (I recall two of them, both put into place by a
sitting arbitrator who then managed relations with the organisations
very closely), but even then it was a very last desperate resort.
Throwing our weight around like that would be a PR disaster, no matter
how unresponsive Verizon were being.
