I think the evolution of the Internet is more or less a bandaid system. As it chuggs along from its beginnings, and things were added and taken away, it was just bandaided to keep it running. Which in any complex system, will undoubtedly occur.
The trouble is, that once the amount of bandaids gets thick enough that you can't see the original bandaid any longer, that fixing it becomes almost impossible, not to mention cost prohibitive. Cause peeling down the layers to get to the core problem would mean breaking multiple things as you work your way down and noone wants to take the responsibility (from both a financial and blame aspect) to get down to the core problems that are underlying the system...
Lest we not forget beyond the ISP's that don't care, you have the equally as bad ISP's that just don't know wtf they are doing. They have their service running and are billing customers and do not look to provide any quality or improvement of services.
I think their motto would be "if it ain't broke, don't fix it..."
Much to the dismay of the rest of us. I don't know about you all, but getting 35 mortgage and penis enlargement solicitations a day is quite annoying...:(
