It wouldn't be very popular, but IMO it shouldn't be illegal.  An ISP is 
just providing you a service for money, they should be legally allowed to 
offer whatever service they want, whether they only give you access to 1 
website, 1000, half, 99% or 100% of them.  The ISP business is open and 
follows market demands, they will provide for whatever the customers want.

The point is it *wouldn't* otherwise be available, the ISP is providing you 
a service which you are paying for, if you don't pay for it you don't get 
access to the information at all.  How does your "human right for all 
information" work with half the population who can't even afford a computer, 
yet alone an internet connection?  Access to the entire internet is a costly 
privilege, not a human right.
