Quote:
You generally pay a state subsidized company like the phone company for the DSL or fiber connection, and then a separate ISP for the data transfer.
In my area (Tokyo), there are literally 12-15 different ISP companies I could use to get internet connection, all in competition with each other....
And when you take into account a fiber connection can have a theoretical max at 100mbs(the practical max is somewhere around 50mbs...), the cost of deep packet inspection/decryption just comes too high...

Winny, the japanese main p2p network at this point in time, has been targeted a few times already...results;
Several other, more secure p2p networks have sprung up and a lot of people have moved(and are moving) onto those instead.

So I doubt there's too much to worry about...

Sincerely, Blanchimont
