Another answer may lie in a market based system. The routers in the
ISP know wwhich boxes are infected. These boxes are consuming a
disproportionate of bandwidth. If the ISP were to notify the
subscribers affected that their bills will rise by 50% to pay for this
disproportionate use of bandwidth, most if not all would reboot their
servers and apply the patch.
Just a thought...
