Tell me if you agree ---- >

he said: "The problem was the experiment went too far..." --- meaning, it gave to

much freedom, and power to the people.

Does that not sound like this elitist is working for corporate-government interests,

not the people -- for disempowering the people from free speech.

He knows, like all of the rogue governments, they have too install a NEW internet for THEM, for which they can better control.

Please click my thumbs up if you agree -- thanks

@andy18401 You couldn't be more wrong about Vint (whom I've known for many, many years). What he was saying was that the technical underpinnings (a key example is IPv4 address space) were specified with an experiment in mind, not for global real-world deployment. And the consequences of this are apparent now with various of the technical issues we're now dealing with. You won't find anyone more in favor of free speech than Vint.
