How in the world will the Average Joe find a way around the major ISP's (ATT, Comcast, Etc).
They won't. They will simply have limited choices and not even realize that their personal version of the internet has been compromised.
To quote U.S. Rep. Jay Inslee (D-1):
"companies like AT&T will become 'kings of content,' allowing them to 'cable-ize the industry,' so that just as Comcast sells cable packages that promote certain shows to the exclusion of others, the big telcos will one day sell content packages that promote certain websites?effectively marginalizing other sites."
