Anyone care to share their opinion on the following article about the McColo affair and the regulating of ISPs?
He's underestimating the level of cooperation ISPs already exert. McColo precisely got hung up upon because of that sort of cooperation.
And whereas the CNC-infrastructure of a botnet is clearly the easiest point to attack, it won't really destroy the botnet, it only will make the botnet-herders loose control over their botnet. The real problem lies elsewhere, not in ISP-space.
