Provide a safe network connection. I believe an ISP should provide a safe 
environment to play, assuming the customer is innocent granny. Your 
average DSL network connection should be safe by default, so a default 
Win98 (or any other OS) can be connected without fear of compromise.

I really don't agree with the "Internet driver's license" concept as 
presented. It really is not an "Internet driver's license" but a 
"Microsoft Safe Operating License". A one fits all type arrangement. Who 
sets the standard?

The plug that connects to the internet world needs to scale with the level 
of expertise of the user. This needs to include a beginners level for the 
clueless with safe email and safe browsing.
