Am I the only one that finds the term "private
interconnect" somewhat specious? As in, if people
make larger x-realm internets by plumbing their
own wires instead of through an ISP, why should
that be thought of differently than the Internet?
Maybe that's why this entire concept is so
unsettling to me.
