But that doesn't mean that there is no downside to this new

expensive, SW reached a worldwide audience without limitation by
international boundary, censorship, or third party carriage. Radio

internet content can be censored, or switched off at will by a
third party with a political axe to grind, radio waves must be
jammed with equally expensive and powerful systems, that are only
marginally effective.


To governments the most important aspect of forcing internet use on us
instead of radio is their ability to see who is reading/writing what.
The IP addresses accompany everything you send or receive, providing
them with your electronic fingerprint on EVERYTHING you touch.

I'm now waiting for email addresses and permanent internet identities
to be assigned at birth. Kinda like the electronic equivalent of being
tattooed on the forehead (like they do in Holland MI).
