> Governments should use the helpfulness of ISPs as a criterion for awarding public contracts
It's almost impressive how even the most innocuous public projects can be turned against us by the governments. Every euro you pay in taxes can and will be used against you, no courts necessary.
This is one of the reasons I pay someone to help me avoid paying as much as possible. If I had a say what taxes were used for then, I might think otherwise. Unfortunately it get used to fund oil wars, surveillance and quangos whilst Healthcare, education and infrastructure crumbles. And don't give me that democracy bollocks - it doesn't work when the majority of the voting populous are semi-morons who might as well just tick the first box.
