Ah yes, like we're all millionaires that can afford to startup our own ISP.

Then tough shit for them ... 

People need to understand that they are at the mercy of relying on an outside infrastructure ... 

As a customer I can only trust what Microsoft, Intel, or Google is doing behind my back is right and by right I don't necessarily mean for consumers but as a compromise ... 

ISPs have EVERY RIGHT to access your info because you need to understand that the network belongs to them and not us ... 

Explicitely informing the consumer what information they are giving away would be a bare minimum, however. This is a price that they demand, the price must always be apparent to the consumer.

 

Information does not belong to those that are paid to spread it. If you send, let's say, a product prototype by mail, Fedex would have no right to sell your ideas to a company, for example. 

 

You pay for information to be given transmitted. This does not give an automatic right to the messenger to your information.
