I assume that you are aware that with HD video, you can easily burn through a
couple of Gbyte in an hour.

Many places have essentially two landline options. Only 3 mobile network is
also quite common. 

In addition, two serious browsers are open source. And there are firefox
forks that try to fix some of the damage done by mozilla.

It is not that black and white. In the Netherlands, a few ISPs are forced to
block access to The Pirate Bay.

That court order applies only to those ISPs, consumers are completely free
to visit The Pirate Bay.

Anybody can write an application that does weird stuff. That's not something
a RFC can prevent.

Governments will figure out that eventually protocols that communicate in
plaintext will die out. Of course, they can mandate the use of plaintext in
their respective countries, at their own economic disadvantage.
