Too often folks in larger organizations forget about us little guys.
Comcast Business would probably have different default policies than
Comcast Residential. Also, ISP's doing this *should* have an
exception-by-request policy.

Men by their constitutions are naturally divided in to two parties:
1. Those who fear and distrust the people and wish to draw all
powers from them into the hands of the higher classes. 2. Those who
identify themselves with the people, have confidence in them,
cherish and consider them as the most honest and safe, although not
the most wise, depository of the public interests.
