The sorts of organizations that form the core of the internet, and are involved in this network layer censorship scheme, just *aren't* the sort of "subversives" (or "patriots", take your pick) that would try to bypass the system.
I am not quite certain if the model of [content provider]-[ISP]-[Phones]-[ISP]-[ISP]-[user] is going to work much longer. That routes the material through quite a few too many bottlenecks, among them the phone lines. I could reasonably easily sign up with two ISPs and start myself as a router (with a good computer and the right software), from what I know of the subject; with ecash routing of messages, this might get quite common (and profitable). When you've got a few large organizations doing the routing, what you've said is _probably_ correct. When you've got a lot of people doing it out of their garages, then it isn't. -Allen
