more fun, wired is in on this now.

i think if this became a popular tactic, it will drive prices up, and alienate customers and small ISP's

secondly, I wonder how many cogent customers (such as my employer/workplace/ISP) are going to find a different backbone based on principal alone. the internet doesn't sound very "internetty" when you have people partitioning off sections of it.

which is to say, how would you all feel if tfproject.org was hosted in finland? wouldn't you feel kinda fucked over and alienated because "mommy and daddy" can't just get along and maintain a pretty face for the children?

i love this comment btw.

But, but, but ...

The internet routes around all blockages. Things like this will never happen. Corporations and governments will never be able to control the internet. It must be true because all the internet geeks said so.

This story must be a lie.
