Paul, re:<that ISP could very easily monitor and record EVERY bit and Byte sent and received by EVERY CUSTOMER>

The information revealed by the Intel scheme is MUCH more dangerous. In order for a website to gather useful information about people visiting their site
1)they would have to contact every ISP in the country and attempt to buy the information,
2)many ISP's would refuse to divulge the information and would break customer contracts if they did

Conversely, with the Intel ID code scheme every byte of data is traceable to a unique CPU owned by an Intel customer, without any ISP search required or monetary cost. The possibilities for abuse are STAGGERING.
