Instead of limiting (or what I like to call mothering) users why not educate them? I don't think it would take much to organise a small non-profit org. or suggest some other org. take on the responsibility.
I was hoping someone would make this point. Rather than putting people down, they should be educated and supported. Only if they refuse to co-operate should they be considered for sanction. (0)
I'm not talking about TV Adverts (why waste the money!) but simple banner ad's with simple Tips. It doesn't take much to have a fairly secure machine (even if it is Windows the user is running).

True. All you need is one ISP who offers "real" Internet....and everyone would flock there. I know I would, if that was the choice.
Then again - if someone does startup a service similar to what is being discussed, I think 'Boa' is a good name. That's my 2 cents.
If you promoted this limited service set as protection, it might work from a marketing point of view..... How would you handle roaming users? 0- death - As Ewen suggested.
