> government is now regulating the internet...government takeover Who do you think we are, a bunch of Fox News watching yokel fools? I was on the Internet back when the NSFnet AUP banning commercial use was in effect in the early 1990s. So were a lot of us. The Internet was a creation of the government, and remained a government funded project from the 1960s until the 1990s. Then CIX came along and eventually NSFnet and ARPAnet were decommissioned. This type of telco/cable astroturfing talk is for uneducated rednecks who get their news from fundamentalist preachers and Glenn Beck. Not for people who maintained machines which switched from using /etc/hosts to translate IP address, to name resolution via sri-nic.arpa (and then nic.ddn.mil, etc.)
