Some news from Turkey. Up to now all connections to Internet were established and managed by TR-NET the collaboration of a university (METU) and the the national scientific research center (Tubitak). Recently the phone company opened a tender for this task and I think the same group or some company or foundation they were part of won it. Today I read that they are trying to pass some law for the net to be controlled by a monopoly and the reason is to be able to control things. So it's spreading. Yesim
