The order has a list of IP addresses, so I expect the ISPs will just
block those IPs in routers somewhere.
Since offshore online gambling is equally illegal everywhere in the
U.S., the ISPs have little reason to limit the block to Minnesota
customers, giving them a lot of latitude in where they implement the
block.
