The more liability that ISPs are under for content, the more the Internet is dead. It'll probably be some cybersecurity regulation effectively requiring whitelisting of domains. No one will care because AI slop will have made it unusable for most at that point.

I could see ISPs being eventually put in a position where--given concerns of cybersecurity, liability, profitability, and absence net neutrality--access to domains gets treated more or less like cable channels.

You'll have a basic package of a hundred or so approved non-foreign "safety-certified" domains that tend to be part of your phone or Internet bill, and then access to other domains is available if ISP-consortium approved and you pay. There won't be very many because there will be a complex regulatory environment both for domain owners, providers of the service behind the domain, and the ISP allowing access. To register and provide services under a new domain you will have to spend a lot of upfront capital or work under an established regime.

No clue. My crystal ball is dark. I guess UUCP would still work if you can get a dial tone somehow lol. I'm sure we'll still have phone numbers.
