out of curiosity (would like input from the pro net neutral people) -- would blocking something like FON constitute a violation of net neutrality?
I don't think you'll find many "pro net neutral people" on this list. I would have to say that most of this group would say that blocking the FON network WOULD be a violation. I seem to recall an effort to do something similar to this by some California group a while back. I may be remembering wrong, but it sounds familiar. Either way, I bring them up, because I am remembering some discussions surrounding them and net neutrality.
FWIW, I think most ISPs would view something like FON as a misuse of their service. There are many ISPs that may not have a written TOS (or don't have their customers sign a copy of their TOS). I don't want to get into the legality of what FON is attempting to do, as that will take the discussion outside the area of expertise of most on this list.
