Regardless of whatever connection you make to the cloud, you still have to go through an ISP, get it?
Maybe. Some people have their own ASNs and don't need a stinking ISP.
Your statement here reminds me of the flaw in the 150mb connection.. what good is that if the other end is only on a 56k modem?
Just as THEY use an ISP.. you may not..
In any case, all this packet blocking discussions is moot until Bitcoin becomes globally outlawed like child porn. Speaking of which there are still underground child porn businesses and communities using encrypted internet communications and they can't be completely stamped out.
If governments get to this point we'd have more serious problems to deal with.
They cant outlaw something they WANT to tax..
