The point is that it IS already being worked on. And it didn't take long for someone to see the potential financial benefit of working on it. It's only a matter of time before this makes its way into ISP systems. I betcha Comcast execs and the RIAA and Media Companies are foaming at the mouth waiting for this to mature, and passing piles of greenbacks under the table to hurry the process up. -- Best regards, bj mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [ It is unfortunately reasonable to assume -- based on observed behaviors to date -- that some ISPs may have few reservations about extracting as much information as possible from encrypted data streams and then potentially "tampering" with them in furtherance of their own objectives -- to the maximal extent that they believe won't create unacceptable levels of negative PR or place them in legal jeopardy. -- Lauren Weinstein NNSquad Moderator ]
