Handwriting on the Wall

Here is a thought

Imagine waking up one morning and you are required to get permission from Google or Microsoft before you can even access files on your desktop.

Imagine having to get permission from VeriSign in order to buy or sell a domain name.

Imagine the billions of people who use the internet every year required to obtain access code before they can access the internet.

To make matter worst, image VeriSign, Microsoft, ICANN and International Telecommunication Union under the control of single individual or corporation.

I hope this never happen, should this be the case, what will you do, stop using the internet.

Convince yourself that you're just having a nightmare... a freaky nightmare

Not impossible, all you would really have to do is control the fibre. Wireless and satelite don't have the BW needed for today's information transfer let alone the futures.

As for domains, that is a biggy, and pretty easy to implement.

The desktop one I doubt...
