It's really pretty simple - since the UN was not successful in wresting control of the Internet name space, and since reasonable companies control the wired connections to the Muslim world - just flip the switch.

Cut them off and let them fester in their Country Wide Web.

Re your #16 - "since reasonable companies control the wired connections to the Muslim world - just flip the switch."

"Reasonable", eh?

Was it "reason" that prompted Google and MS to block any sites not approved by the Chicom Politbureau and turn internet bloggers and dissidents over to the Chinese KGB?

Does it bother their CEOs or stockholders in the least that the web users they ratted out who had crossed the communist party lines are probably having or have had their organs harvested?

I doubt it... the "Bottom line" is sacred, it seems, and whatever sacrifice - including human - it takes to maximize profits seems to be fair game to the big weblords.

So with all of the oil money that Saudi Arabia has to throw around and do it's "talking" for it, who's to say that it won't be US who end up being shut out of the WWW, huh?

And it'll be our own bloody "providers" who will flip said switch, too!
