| ATT= Another Totalitarian Technology This is going to be a very dumb idea. For instance, I am employed at a hospital. We have a legal copy of the 2006 NFPA revision cycle on one of our servers so I can access it at any workstation on our network. Right now, I can be at one of our sattlite clinics 30 or 40 miles away from the hospital and still access the entire NFPA CD. Since we just bought a hospital in an adjoining state, I will be needing to access this info to insure that the new hospital is in compliance. Since AT&T is our provider, when I try to access the NFPA database on the server from the another location, this has the potential to block it! The NFPA CD is copyrighted and copy protected, and this is why I argued for the purchase of the network licensed CD!!
Sounds to me like some well-laid plans to lose not only my personal business, but many large corporate accounts. |
