Comment Re:Upside: Incentive for botnet cleanout. (Score 4, Funny) 421

Which brings up other issues:

- Will AT&T bill for incoming packets? Even those not solicited?
- If you're charged for all incoming packets how do you STOP somebody's botnet from sending you packets? DDoS attacks could become Distributed Denial of Funds...
- Will they charge for ICMP packets?
- How about the packets they use to communicate with and control their modem (which don't even get to the customer's interface)?

From extensive research on the behavior of modern ISP's, I can answer all of your questions with 100% certainty, including the one you didn't type out:

- Yes, Hell yes.
- You can't.
- They will.
- Of course.
- Lube will cost extra.
