It’s a matter of setting GAAP-like “generally accepted best practices” for fiber operations that expose fiber operators to shareholder and customer lawsuits for failure to implement those best practices. If Google implements continuous-flow encryption on its fiber, it won’t be long before somebody sues Yahoo for not doing the same. If all the US fiber is secured, it won’t be long before French companies seek the same competitive advantage. All we have to do is set the baseline best-practice (possibly in collaboration with other standards bodies), and market forces will do the rest. — Dean _______________________________________________ perpass mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/perpass
