The Internet *is* it's lowest protocol layers. The ideology and politics
are embedded in protocols, and attempts to 'solve' the problem without
addressing these fundamental issues are doomed to fail.
Example: the asymmetry of DSL and cable bandwidths in the two
directions is built into the link layer, and it was purely political
decision, little to do with technology.
