Senderbase has been providing the data to the general public for a long 
time.

I'm glad the FTC is trying to raise the bar, but government agencies are 
generally incompetent when it comes to technological strategies (just 
like the DOJ with its integration efforts for a 50-state Registered Sex 
Offender database -- the asst attorney general said on national TV 
yesterday that it's based on technology the *DOJ* developed -- *right* 
which low-bidding contractor, or since when is the DOJ in the software 
development business?).

I'd like to see the government push for something along the lines of 
certified software for internet connectivity, since in a way its unfair 
to put all the blame on the ISPs. Pinch me...
