re:UN: The Problem With The Internet Today is too open

The push is on from police and spy agencies from all countries to remove once and for all, anonymity on the Internet. The UN will aid and abet that goal. This trend is inevitable and unstoppable - even if it takes years to make it happen.

Re: re:UN: The Problem With The Internet Today is too open

Inevitable and unstoppable?? I wouldn't go that far. Granted there are those that would love for that to happen but that doesn't mean it's definite. I don't even think it would be technologically feasible unless you implant RFID chips in everyone; even then, it would be hackable. You have to consider the expense and the justification. Considering we have so many other anonymous 'venues', I see little point. For instance, what about all those anonymous blue boxes that I can drop a letter into and have a message delivered to anyone... should those be eliminated also? I agree there are those that want ALL anonymity eliminated but I don't see it happening... ever.

Re: re:UN: The Problem With The Internet Today is too open

The nation's public highway system is similar. Although traffic/tollbooth/signal cams can capture pictures of license plates and maybe faces, if you rent a car under an alias, you're anonymous. Most contraband traffickers get caught because they or their vehicles violate a traffic law and act suspicious when police stop them.

Never underestimate the power and resourcefulness of those who cherish freedom. For every dullard that goes into government, there are 10 bright people who will fight to maintain freedom.

Isn't it sad that those that raise their right hand and swear "to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America" are usually the ones most likely to trash it.

AT&T in the drivers seat.....

AT&T has positioned themselves as well as they possible could post t-moble, and the wind is definitely at their back for the foreseeable future. It will be a balancing act, but if they can reward investors and accelerate LTE investment with room for a possible acquisition or two of spectrum, they'll be writing their own book.

Re: AT&T in the drivers seat.....

I though these shared plans were the work of the Devil according to everyone? One can dismiss Verizon numbers if you wish because all new customers HAVE to g with a shared plan and many current customers probably think they have to switch. But at&t has made it clear that shared plans are optional yet people switch anyway.
