Sure, but the Internet was designed on a philosophy of cooperation. An 
ISP could also drop every other packet, and say "that's my problem, not 
yours", but we wouldn't consider that to be a reasonable way to run a 
network.

IMHO you should at least be transparent about it, so your users know 
what they're in for.
