Hi Guy,


We have decree 123 here in italy that obligates all providers to offer it
free of charge for residential users in effect for over a year now.
This year it also requires equipment vendors of cpes to offer it.
see how lucky we are ?

This appears to be an obligation to *offer* it for free.  That suggests
implied consent (if the subscriber accepts the offer).  The challenges are
mostly around any model that would mandate that a service provider can do
it at the request of some external agency and without the consent of the
end user.


Yes it is a little more complicated as it depends on the size of the
provider and if the user is a minor. It must be preactivated on services
used by a minor ( sim card basically)
There is opt in/out and larger providers are required to offer solutions
that allow parents to control various categories in some way or another,
all for free. You may offer add ins at a cost , such as additional blocking
categories, security services and whatever else you can dream up.

Brian
