I think (hope) he's referring to the concept of the Internet, not the physical infrastructure. The basic concept was pretty much a product of American engineers...who were quite possibly foreign born. So there, you can't accuse me of having some kind of superiority complex. As far as the physical part goes, it's probably safe to say that enough of that is owned by American companies to constitute a majority. Personally, I don't think this is a good thing at all, but that's just the way things are. So, he is somewhat correct on either issue. If the major American carriers pulled the plug, the Internet as we know it pretty much ceases to exist. You could argue the point until you're blue in the face, but it's tough to prove either side. - -- Jonathan Rickman X Corps Security http://www.xcorps.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5.8 iQEVAwUBPj/M3zTwrX0N9QH/AQGh+wgA0l9viuLPEerfrAcQKci2kmrfai2sJP7W 7BjJ/QVc7GrYl2/veQb5AiJjBQt0tEgQL9MpfNKGAb699YCx69EC+KMBaEQ7ZNyq JDaTwx+KrE6EP3cJ0reYNUT7V/sSKAG+cf6ItTEQ4Fa60vlms6ILh9p1lmGob0Sy ZRo7OL6T86ET5Np0uZsPQkYJFGbKY8SC3v0NLCG+CWSJAeRuUQlFk14X6JJAMVj8 Axog0V7DaAlcQVxdeYzs4MNn+Oa8MbRc8vacJe5+smhi4sDswMOI69jZkB2hXXY7 Z+qpsUZgc0uhc3Kq7wDsA/BkBi2JAJNQXznrsYf4IsRwecPGM83aEQ== =rMyL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
