The question is, how would one go about denying Internet access to the Islamic world?

What does the internet look like?

That's easy:

The Internet is not something you just dump something on. It's not a truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled. And if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material. I just the other day got - an Internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the Internet commercially.

"Not surprisingly, China is championing the next wave of the Internet, which would accommodate 340 trillion trillion trillion IP addresses."

If the article is referring to IPv6 (internet protocol version 6, the net currently runs IPv4, don't ask about "v5"), The US is running hard to that standard also. Most of the routing gear in place today as well as servers, Windos XP, and many flavors of Linux support IPv6. More infrastructure will need to be in place, but it is coming. It will be stronger, more scalable, and more secure.

Hi All-

Just think, we all have Al Gore to thank for inventing this grand thing we call the internet!
