I'm reminded of the 'Net as outlined in _Emerald Eyes_ and _The Long Run_. Censored, controlled, locked down. |

Whatta ya mean!?! Without broadband, you'd never get "Comcast Searchlight", the LAME LAME LAME internet substitute that Comcast thinks its customers are stupid enough to buy into. Just hit eight-eight-eight on your Comcast remote, and you will be delivered on a platter to Comcast's megacorporate cronies! In return, you'll get a LAME, watered-down, commercially-sponsered, clean, well-light, slow and corporate browsing experience, in any one of the 10 categories that Comcast thought it could get buttoned-down corporate sponsors, and wouldn't cost too much bad PR. I've been wondering since about 1999 what the Cable and Telcos will do to get TCP/IP removed, and some protocols with real distinctions between "client" and "server" in place. "Increased security" was one of the channels I thought might be used. |
