I have a little different take. So, let's assume that you can combine 5+ encryptions / encryption points and hide the contents of you communication on someone else's network. IT IS STILL SOMEONE ELSE'S NETWORK. What happens when the network owner becomes China (game already over), UK (now blocking porn, next political speech, etc. >> game over), USSR, USSA, etc. and decides that your packets look like something we don't transfer. Or what about the old proposal to require a license to use the Internet? -- see http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20100204/1925188060.shtml http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20100204/1925188060.shtml and http://business.time.com/2010/01/30/drivers-licenses-for-the-internet/ http://business.time.com/2010/01/30/drivers-licenses-for-the... and a million other links. Solutions built on top of some existing (OWNED) platform are inherently fragile until there's a private (P2P-like HAM radio to smoke signal) transfer pipe.

  OK - here's another. http://www.zdnet.com/blog/government/internet-attack-defense-license-and-registration-please/6934 http://www.zdnet.com/blog/government/internet-attack-defense... "Yet the reality is, governments may have to reconsider such an requirement. It may not fly today, but don't be surprised if it becomes reality in the near future. Every device connected to the Internet will have a permament license plate and without it, the network won't allow you to log in." The point is that people have been calling for this for 10 years and it's going to happen SO why would you expect that the "Internet police" would allow you to move around in any manner (speed, intoxication level, destination, type of transport, etc.) that you see fit?
