Voluntary for ISPs but not for their users, ISPs representing over 94% of the market are already intending to join.

    Just please don't move to America.

    LOL, fuck no. The US is pretty much a third world nation compared to other first world nations now a days (Australia, NZ, Canada, Europe, etc.) Lack of basic necessities like govt. health care, poor education, poor wages and such is really placing it low on the list.

    I also recently spent a month in San Francisco this year, and well... great to visit friends, but no, would never live there, not in a million years. No, not even if you PAID me to live there.
