These companies seem to forget the government gave them tax subcities (I know its spelled wrong lol) to build the infrastructure. This could be alot worst than .xxx.

Tony, I think you need to look at things realistically. None of the ISPs are going to pre-build your content and check to see if it is porn. They filter by protocol, not by content. To filter video, they would have to filter all video. To filter flash, they would have to filter all flash. It's the reasons why .XXX is such a risk, because it does allow for easy filtering, which is not currently possible.
What the ISPs do is filter torrent traffic, P2P / distributed networking stuff like Skype, and so on. Those are the true huge bandwidth wasters, and that is what they are looking to get rid of. They aren't going to filter port 80 material, the cost isn't worth the saving.
