The bean counters are looking TOS violations as revenue loss. I'd love to see a bar chart of TOS terminations in the US from 1998 to 2003. Would we be surprised? Is anyone surprised that SPAM became, and remained, a problem, a DDoS in it's own right? Trying to keep on the topic of infrastructure, the best thing that Uncle Sam could do for us is to fund research into new methods and procedures to detect infrastructure attacks which help us to define operational procedures on prevention and defense. Much like SPAM, we're not going to win a war on these people. We can only detect and defend. Perhaps countermeasures could fit in their was well in the case of a grand attack. I'd love to see a Operational security focused list sponsored by NANOG. -M
