[governance] RE: Has U.S. started an Internet war? By Bruce Schneier + tinyURL

[Carlos A. Afonso]

Besides endorsing Ian's worries, I should say that there is already 
activity to propose alternatives to circumvent walled gardens or 
cybercensors (far more structural ones than just anonymizers etc). The 
Internet will quite probably not be the same as we idealized in the 
recent past, and networking alternatives will emerge. Inevitably, some 
form of international governance will also emerge (to the desperation of 
the status-quoers). Hopefully truly multistaskeholder, but as Ian notes 
we can no longer trust some big defenders of "multistakeholderism"...

I am just reading a paper issued now by Brazilian scholars on this -- 
challenging, extremely interesting. In Portuguese...
