I'm unclear on what host requirements NEA is proposing to add.
The reality is that I have about 2 giant corporations to choose
from for Internet connectivity where I live.  I don't want either
one of them installing mandatory software on my computers that
denies access to the Internet if any "unapproved" applications
are found.  I would rather decide which applications I get to run,
and if the ISP chooses to firewall certain protocols, then fine.
