I think we are already on our way to a multiple-Internet world, with the CB-radio model of everybody shouting about all manner of stuff ranging from very useful to utter sewage (uttered sewage?), and the vpn model (note lowercase attempt at a generalizing term) of encrypted tunnels, firewall rules, DNSBLs, challenged response, SPF, et alia.

I wonder if a 500 kc-like "calling" channel with very tight and enforced rules will emerge somehow. -- Requiescas in pace o email Ex turpi causa non oritur actio http://members.cox.net/larrysheldon/
