Didn't Level3 recently have Net-Neutrality issues with Verizon? While I think that botnets are a serious issue for internet security, I don't see how carriers have the authority or mandate to engage in selective traffic filtering without it contravening their support for NN.
If ICANN or the RIR's (APNIC, RIPE) were vested with the power and responsibility of maintaining botnet-blacklists then that might be better? I just don't think there's any legitimacy in carriers taking on this role.
