Well...: ...maybe they can trade oil for bandwidth.

The UN would make it even more of a mess, given the levels of bureaucracy that are a part of THAT system. But the alternative isn't necessarily any better. There's been much talk amongst the international B'crats of fracturing the internet into polarized regions with their own localized authority...sort of defeats the concept of the wholistic "internet".; Posted by: flatliner Posted on: 10/19/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
