The problem (as I see it) is that it will start with just the AAA, and then it will be all emails, then all IM, then all voip. Where will it end? That is why I think the cost of it should be on the ISP and should be very clearly explained in the TOS/AUP. Government funding for it will lead to Government control. This is one place it just plain is not needed.
