Umm... I think you'll have a hard time making that case for ARPAnet -> NSFnet -> early Internet, which were built on open collaboration in managing and shipping traffic. That said, the Internet of today != the Internet of a decade+ ago. Many incentives operating on participating individuals have changed, and that's just life (unless you're in charge of regulating a carrier someplace ;). I prefer to have carriers who provide a stupidly simple network that doesn't get paid to drop other people's packets. Other people may prefer other modes of operation; such is life. ;) Patrick _______________________________________________ LUGS Mailing list - [email protected] List FAQ: http://wiki.lugs.org.sg/LugsMailingListFaq Info page: http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet To unsubscribe send an empty email to: [email protected]
