"Filtering of New Top Level Domains By the ISP's"
... it's not the ISPs, more the developers, as the email below mentions.
I'd guess the main role ISPs make is providing DNS resolution to their customers,
which should be handled automatically by root delegation, no?
If you'd have reworded it as such it would probably make more sense (or even
to use terms like "ASP" etc.)
