[governance] RE: [bestbits] [JNC - Forum] PP: India wants to abolish BGP and introduce national routing and IP management

[Lee W McKnight]

Sorry to intrude, but can someone explain how Alibaba's record $20 billion IPO and valuation predicted by Wall Street to trend towards $500 billion, dwarfing those of most of certain parties favorite US Internet business is evil targets, fits in this equation?

My personal view: I suggest the unipolar/state-centric frame offered by some to consider who is winning from the present - distributed Internet architecture - doesn't match the market data.?


Or at the least, it is short accounting for a few more hegemons who appear to doing quite well under the ancien regime, thank you. ; ).

The India's proposals at PP, commented by Parminder, sounds like rational politics in the context of an hegemonic State representing its own lobbies/monopolies and a worldwide mass surveillance/spying organisation. Whether each State is more or less democratic is a diversion in the discussion, which pertains to independence and mutual trust. Of course impacts have to be analysed, but this is for each State to draw its conclusions.
