That's why this time it should be tied to the power of the biggest IT firms. If Apple, Google, Facebook and Microsoft were willing to let their servers break the middle boxes even the most fucked up, stupid, slow IT department would have to kill their broken middle boxes.

I'd argue it would take less than 48h hours to kill all middle boxes worldwide and probably all broken browser versions too. Just imagine what it would mean for a Big Corp not to be able to access Google, Bing, Facebook and iCloud from their networks. It's either move or go bankrupt within days.

In a way that's kind of the nuclear option, but hell nukes do work.
