Government Wants Their Own Internet
from the greedy,-aren't-they? dept
It seems that the internet has become a bit too common for the government that started it in the first place. Apparently, they want their own separate private internet just for them to play on. Why do I have an image of top ranking government officials playing networked games on this network?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

There's nothing stopping them
Honest, the Internet is just a bunch of T1's and T3's (and their European counterparts) with routers. The circuit owners recoup their costs through selling access to outside parties.
