There was considerable discussion by Committee members on how they would shut out offending gambling sites. An offending gambling site would be informed that they are violating the law. The company/site would have a chance to respond. If they were indeed offering banned gambling activities they would be asked to desist. If that failed, the ISP would be directed to bar access to the site from its customers. So it is not envisioned that there would be an automated lockout system but rather a manual system with legal/business checks built in. It would be fairly simple for the Justice Department to issue all US ISPs instruction to bar access to specific URLs. The action would not be immediate but would in my view be effective for all but possibly satellite based service providers based off shore. Very few internet users would use such a service. The ban would be effective on phone, cable and local microwave based service providers.
