i like the plan i suggested in reply to jcurran better than the above plan.
however, i'm now seeing more spam from hosts in my private blackhole list,
that's fed by a darkspace IDS running on ports 25 and 80, than i am from
all of my "dynamic/dialup blackhole list" subscriptions combined. so, if
an fcc-based universal tariff is the only way to get this done, i'm willing
to pay -- even though i own the routers on both ends of my home t1.
