ISPs, human rights and power

Some really interesting discussions at BILETA from several speakers (Emily Laidlaw, Chris Marsden, Lilian Edwards, Dinusha Mendis, Nicolas Jondet) about the human rights of individuals (freedom of expression, ability to vote, be educated, access important health information etc etc etc) which could be affected by a disconnection under the "hopefully it can still be avoided" Digital Economy Bill. Into the wash (sorry, unfortunate term given the prospects of the DEB being part of the wash up procedure) must also go the ECHR rights to enjoy property of the individual, rights not to be discontinued without a hearing before a court....To this must be added concerns about the more popular ISPs, who might be argued to be in a dominant position (although this would of course depend on the market...). Might it be abuse of a dominant position to disconnect individuals when this might have human rights consequences - even if the ISP does so by following legislation? Something else to mull over....
