With all due respect the "little guy" really does have a personal responsibility to ensure their network is adequately protected/encrypted - they may need to educate themselves.

Note the phrase "Open" connection in the first para. If they leave their connection Open they need to be aware of the possible consequences.
I see absolutely nothing wrong with the approach being taken by NY.

Ultimately, that's the only way we're going to get a "reasonably" secure Network. The element of accountability/responsibility is obviously what's driving this.
