I agree that access to the network is important. I was struck by an Indian activist's response I once heard to a British radical's dismissal of the idea of access to the network for (e.g.) subsistence farmers. Information such as weather reports is difficult to access in a timely and efficient manner through other means. So, to be clear, I agree that the network needs to be (re)distributed more evenly as a moral imperative (although we need to be very wary of the consequences of that for surveillance and market overreach). But the ability to use that access flexibly and efficiently (or "freely") is important if winning that access is not to be a hollow victory. > 2) Tell a British citizen that his aerospatial program do not exist ??? > Maybe is more easy to be """"free"""" with a aerospatial program like > that ...

British citizens are very used to dictators being embraced by their leadership, and for the most part I would imagine they still regard the details of the DNS system as arcane and irrelevant to their everyday life. > 4) I am being very objective again, WHO WILL DETAIN THE DOMAIN CONTROL > AND WHY ON IPV 6 ???

As I say, I try to avoid despair. > 6) IPV6 is a provisory solution , what is being thought in that sense ??? I wasn't aware that IPv6 is provisional. It's taking long enough to adopt it, so I don't know what would come next. I love meshnets, but then I loved them in 2005. Some of the smarter people I know are moving to Retroshare, but that's still over IP. > 6) If ICANN servers will move, will move to where ????? It's hard to decide whether this is network politics or geopolitics, or an interesting blend of the two. In any case, you are right that it is a point that should be of more political interest than it seems to be. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
