Sounds like copycating China as the last paragraph states...

    Seems really unintelligent that an ISP would proxy all of it's users to a single or small range of IP addresses like this. One person gets banned by a site and all traffic from that IP address is blocked which could be the entire user base of an ISP. The second part is just foolishness, blocking access based on content. If somone wants that on their computer there are plenty of applications out there that will do that.
