It used to be said that no country would be allowed to move from Communism to Capitalism. It can now be said that it is inconceivable that a modern country will move from a Market to a Command Economy. Market discipline is strong.
Tell that to folks in the contries of used-to-be-Russia. Lots of old Communist leaders getting back into power - some folks are even saying that the old days under the Communists were better than living in a free market economy. Never underestimate the value of human stupidity and shortsightedness.
Where are the pressure points where regulation can be applied?
How about on the backbone itself? Since everyone goes through the htree major backbones, all one would have to do is control access at those points. Of course, that would lead to clandestine use of store-and-forward LEOsats, s&f UUCP sites, etc. UUCP might even make a comeback ;) - -- Ed Carp, N7EKG Ed.Carp@linux.org, ecarp@netcom.com 214/993-3935 voicemail/digital pager 800/558-3408 SkyPager Finger ecarp@netcom.com for PGP 2.5 public key an88744@anon.penet.fi "Past the wounds of childhood, past the fallen dreams and the broken families, through the hurt and the loss and the agony only the night ever hears, is a waiting soul.
