This is a very good point. I think what we have are some very powerful people wanting more power. They want to censor the net as well.
A few years back we had the "convergance" of the media and the telcos. Their idea was to join forces so they both created and distributed the internet content. It was sort of like the paper boy thinking he should own the newspapers. Then we got blogging and utube and their plan when down the got old toilet hole. Most people in their 20's that I know don't even bother to look to the media. They don't trust it. What we need to do is encrypt the whole packet except for the IP address. Then NONE of their plans will work. The software to do this os OpenSSL and we simply tunnel it through. An appliance can do this. But we can also do this with a deamon which acts as a firewall which windows people dearly need! Its just a service on another port. That makes everyone blind to what is being sent on the net. That forces net neutrailty. On Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 07:28:58PM -0700, TekBudda wrote: > Interesting view Greg...wasn't even aware that that happened.
