[ga] What Does the 'Next Internet' Look Like?

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  More to the point....

See: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2007/aug/01/news.internet

>From the article:

"The Guardian website, which again revisits the subject of
reconstructing
the internet. This time the question isn't whether it should be done,
but
what should the goals of a redesign be? From the article: "'There's a
real
need to have better identity management, to declare your age and to know

that when you're talking to, say, Barclays bank, that you're really
doing so,'
said Jonathan Zittrain, professor of internet governance and regulation
at the
Oxford Internet Institute. At the moment we are still using very clumsy
methods to approach such problems. The result: last year alone, identity

theft and online fraud cost British victims an estimated £414m, while
one
recent report claimed 93% of all email sent from the UK was spam ...
Many
ideas revolve around so-called "mesh networks", which link many
computers
to create more powerful, reliable connections to the internet. By using
small meshes of many machines that share a pipeline to the net instead
of
relying on lots of parallel connections, experts say they can create a
system that is more intelligent and less prone to attack."

P: i.e., whether B is less than PL."
