D.C. Watson: Hey, step off. Go build your own Internet!

DNS servers fine, that is still irrelevant, I can build my own ones if I wanted to

Yeah...but who's going to find your DNS servers when the U.N.-controlled root servers de-list your primary, secondary and tertiary DNS servers? That effectively knocks every system for which you serve records off the 'net...unless, of course, all of your viewers know your IP address. And even then, anyone with control of major hubs could just as effectively blackhole those ranges. It's trivial to do.

I'm sorry, but we really should rewind here to establish your level of expertise on this subject. What is your background in computer networking? What experience do you have in working with the Internet? And have you ever handled global, net-based enterprise architecture?

Yeah but I can just go buy 1,000,000 worth of Servers and Make my own and let you connect to it, and then charge people to host websites on it. so you could have www.google.individualrightsinnjisthecoolest or whatever I choose to make the suffix.

That's absurd. You can't just do that without ICANN approval.

Technically his only hitch to a competing Internet is fiber optic cable. In the U.S. only telecoms (aka Utilities) can lay cable. With open source code, and prearranged cable you could build your own Internet. This Internet wouldn't be accessible to the greater Internet (the one FR is on for instance) without a gateway between the two.

Think I am wrong? Ask the U.S. government if it can be done or not. ;-)

Judging from way the congress handles the border. The UN doesnt have to TAKE the internet.. The Congress will give to them..

Very probable when Hillary(and Bubba) land back in the White House(2008).. with a phalanx of democrats and RINOs to back them up.. the farm then will be sold for condos.. The goose that lays the egg will be goosed for eggs, and lady liberty may get goosed also..

Theres a million stories in the big city Washington D.C. and most end with someone getting goosed.. The sheeple seem to like it though.. but thats another story comnpletly..

There is far more to the Internet than laying cable. If all it took was laying cable, the Internet would have come into being without DARPA's involvement.

It still seems to me that IPv6 is unnecessary.

IPv6 has a lot more useful features than just address space, but, yes, there's a lot of wasted space in the current IP handling. Of course, NAT (which was a hack for the limit on IPv4 addresses, and causes problems of its own) would be completely unneccessary with IPv6. We'd have a lot left over even if half of the space was wasted, the Earth's population quadrupled and each person was using 50,000 addresses.

That's absurd. You can't just do that without ICANN approval.

He absolutely could do it. However, www.google.individualrightsinnjisthecoolest would resolve only for those who use his DNS servers, which means nobody.

So amended. I shot from the hip on that one. He could do everything up to having the (ridiculously long suffix) work at all.

I don't always agree with ICANN; hell, I'm one of their biggest critics. But their work does manage to provide a certain amount of order in this wonderful chaos.

Of course, there are computers involved too! With open source software one could set up their own completely independent Internet (which after all would be a really large intranet). The most public (i.e. utility owned) part of the Internet is the wires, satellites, RF devices etc, the occasional telecom server. All the rest is private computers. When you dial an ISP you are connecting to the backbone. If I wanted I could create my own ISP, my own backbone, and sell service to users (of course Congress, and some other regulatory bodies get involved in my business at that point too.) Believe me, there is not all that much between my computer and say FR. Its all one big LAN. The reason why it got started was that it became a 'good idea' to connect government computers together to be able to talk to each other. Same concept more or less today, and anyone that tries to argue otherwise is probably selling something Microsoft.
