The one fatal flaw is that the author assumes disparate hoards of people can come together to create a new network to replace the existing one, which is a difficult task (dare I say extremely difficult). Just look at how an organized, business & government sponsored approach to creating a new network has already failed to take much traction (re: ipv6). Hardly disparate, yet a decade of efforts and still not truly active.
- redthrowaway 16y agoI wouldn't say ipv6 has failed, merely that it isn't being adopted fast enough. It'll get there. Sooner or later, reality will force ipv6 adoption.
- kevinelliott 16y agoYes, failed is a bit harsh, but see how difficult adoption has been? A near apocalypse of ipv4 is required before the leap occurs. My point, though, was simply to illustrate how insane it sounds for a bunch of random people to do what an organized and financially backed group even struggles with.
- redthrowaway 16y agoGNU/Linux? Firefox also turned out quite a bit better than IE. I'm aware that money and organization are involved in both of those endeavours, but the amount of each is miniscule by comparison.
