I actually like and could support this.

(Though I don’t think it’s a panacea for the ISP vs. end-user debate in its entirety, from a policy perspective, I’m fine with the policy as expressed.)

The one caveat is that I wouldn’t want to see this implemented in such a way that it would potentially interfere with what is currently known as proposal 191 if that achieves consensus (which I think is likely).
