<div>The idea of somehow charging the government for these services is pretty funny, but I suspect that could never happen. The closest you'd likely get is the government would create a panel of "leading ISP's" to negotiate a pricing structure. After much debate
the government would invent pricing targets, likely in the form of a rebate or tax incentive and place onerous reporting processes on top of that '<i>to prevent abuse</i>'.</div>

Government requires ISP's to manage and block traffic? No problem. Here is the monthly charge for providing this service. When the reality dawns that these tasks cost big money then we may see a rapid policy change. </div>
