Aha... I guess I was thinking of ISPs reselling somone's service as theirs, and I cant see how it would affect that. However, I can now see why it would affect the mega-ISPs, thanks.
ISPs tend to rack up high bandwidth costs when a customer trades files with a customer at an outside ISP. The costs escalate further when a person in one country trades a file with someone in another country.
The internet is suposed to be interoperable, with different networks communicating, not partitioned into segments.

and this is something that the OSS community lacks.
I dont know if the biggest distro's have capital to support something like this, but the article seems to guarantee that customers who walk into that testing centre walk out with a license...
Perhaps a cross distro centre would be a good idea, funded in part by the FSF.
