In a short while various features for IPv6 will prevent anyone from
policing the content of the packets or determining the true source and
destination of a particular packet even if you are sitting around watching
output from the the "packet sniffer which captures every packet on the
net." So AUPs won't matter because you will never know what they are doing
unless they want you to.
What then?
