<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Let's be frank here...<br>
<br>
Use of the Internet is not a human right.. <br>
Countries have the right to enact laws which place certain
requirements<br>
for Internet access.<br>
<br>
We can have a discussion on limitations on the requirements,
equality of access, etc but, like it or not,<br>
this ability to require identification is a legitimate right of
that country or domicile.<br>
<br>
I see it as no different than, in certain countries (like spain,
etc.) , I am required to present a passport<br>
(even if I pay cash in advance) to secure a hotel room.<br>
<br>
In both cases,I am giving up privacy in exchange for something of
value.<br>
<br>
It is a continuing fact of life in today's times.<br>

Norbert and Chaitanya offer very different perspectives. <br>
Currently I'm sitting in an airport using public WiFi, but I had
to be very well documented to get to this point.<br>

In my view this is a clear human rights violation and
something that I<br>
would expect us all to be able to agree to condemn.<br>
<br>
May I request the IGC coordinators to coordinate some
action in regard<br>
to this matter?<br>
<br>
Greetings,<br>
