Perhaps the correct response is some (more) user education and then allow evolution to take over - those people who are too stupid to work this out lose all their money and then they can't use the Internet any more. While ISPs will lose revenue from them they're probably the ones who cause 90% of the help desk calls and so profitability goes up and we all get more time for beer.
While in full agreement on the last point, and while this is technically the 'right', self-healing thing to do, it's the path most likely to lead to knee-jerk regulation, which I suspect will cost the ISPs more in the long run in compliance. And the side-effect of that will probably be full content filtering, to catch the pr0n. Fun time to be an ISP to be sure. cheers mark
