Your bolded point in your piece is certainly notable:

   "And here’s the killer. None of the
   products could  effectively  filter
   instant messaging, streaming video,
   peer-to-peer  file   sharing   like
   BitTorrent,      newsgroups      or
   newly-invented  Internet  protocols
   except by blocking  them  entirely.
   Let’s count them again. None."

But the internet is just the web... isn't it ;-)
