Kivuva,
I see the hypocricy and citizens can never be sure that their governments
will not spy on them especially incase of change of government (and Laws)
in their countries.
Yes, the current governments may safeguard privacy rights but what of
tomorrows governments?
"The move is also indeed a potentially dangerous first step in fragmenting
the global network."
Suresh, I agree indeed, "Chalk this down to marketing hype by a telco
salesman that doesn't understand routing."
Regards,
