The tool is called... Switzerland.


Yes, the first time I read about it, I was well into the article before I realized that they
were not talking about some new initiative in the Confoederatio Helvetica, and stopped wondering if
the EFF had become a International Organization and John Perry Barlow would no longer pay income taxes.

On a related note, Jason Livingood and Rich Woundy of Comcast were at the recent IETF, particularly in the
the ALTO and TANA BOFs, where some progress was made I think. Jason provided this link for insight into Comcast
Network Management Policy, which might be of interest here :
