news ISP = Invading subscriber privacy

Yes, they can (as long as it's an online fart.) And I believe they were writing something in to make it difficult or impossible to roll back.

I predict an upswing in the use of VPN's and TOR downloads.

"I predict an upswing in the use of VPN's..."

I am kind of thinking this exactly. In fact, I almost want to plan for this. Love to see more conversation around this. Don't see much posts doing a search on the topic. With the new rollback laws for ISP's, wouldn't you think there is enormous growth, potential, and revenue?

"VPN" searches in google analytics has been on a consistent rise and I can't imagine over the course of the next couple of years VPN's becoming more predominant on the internet. Especially as education and awareness continues to grow on the subject.
