Thread Name: BS: Internet regulation - missing fred?
Subject: RE: BS: Internet regulation - missing fred?
Nowhere as informed as I should be or would like to be in this area but there have been several articles that raise concerns over internet regulation. One pointed out, as I understood it, that the US is way behind quite a few countries in network speed and efficiency due in part to regulation that puts all control in the hands of the few giant corporations and inhibits entrepreneurs who exist in other countries who are developing the advanced technology. The other concern stems from an email received today that I have not verified but claims that several companies around the world are developing technology that will allow Syria, and supposedly any other country, to pinpoint dissident net users.
