'Wireless backbone'? K.
I have a dozen confirmations off list in every time zone. SANS ISC is soliciting technical reports on this; It's on the EFF's Radar. "This is not a drill" If any ISP of mine filtered my (where my = brick-and-mortar-corp) access to any destination because of another customer (there are *always* technical solutions to problems you describe, the one you implemented wouldn't even make my list), you'd have one less customer and quite likely a Tortious Interference claim.. And, as a (wired) backbone arch, if I ever filtered a host (btw: there are five IPs in that /24 being filtered by T) that cut off every customer's access to that host or group, I'd expect to not have a job anymore. If I wanted filtered Internet, I'd sign up for Prodigy. Check http://status.4chan.org - they're not moving anything at the moment, and confirm the filtering. Debate away, I'm off to bed. I think 4chan's reaction to this will be bigger than the story itself - No need for me to argue what will soon be in the News Cycle. -j On Sun, Jul 26, 2009 at 10:20 PM, Shon Elliott <s...@unwiredbb.com> wrote: > > Jamie, > > Unfortunately, that's not easy with wireless backbones.
