Yeah right. You can tell because nobody uses Google in the UK, or Facebook. The UK has *more stringent* rules than you propose (or, in fact, it has rules that produce extensive ISP competition, and some of those ISPs not only allow but encourage you to run home servers), but I'm writing this on Chromium and I use Google for searching almost to the exclusion of all else: indeed Google has more of a stranglehold here than in the US.

I am in favour of home servers -- I run quite a lot of them -- but all your harping on the subject is doing here is proving your parochialism. Your proposed solution has been tried and it *does not work*. It does not do what you repeatedly say it will do. I wish it did, but it turns out that allowing home servers is not a panacea. It doesn't cure disease or old age either, imagine that.
