| At this point it is just a regional internet network. Nothing to get too excited about.
Though, I do applaud them for not simply crying about it and actually DOING something.
If their network gains momentum and is able to convince enough people to join and shows that it is a better system, then more power to them. Currently, the internet as it stands is a global network. Theirs is not.
The good thing is that this will show how democratic the internet really is, regardless of who controls the root servers. The more accepted network will succeed. The loser will fade into a regional network.
Currently, the U.S. based network has momentum. Whether it is better is up to interpretation.

Take you best shot and see what falls out in a couple years. They can call it the "muslim internet".

Absolutely! They can buy their own computers and servers and program them any way they like. If they're not interested in the global networks we share today then they can create their own. I see no reason why the entire world should alter the current system just to suit one backward little country.
Perhaps that sounds harsh, but one nation cannot expect the world to change merely on their desires.

Instead of tagging this initiative with "Muslim", why not call it the "anti-Christian fundamentalist network", or just AltNet?
Only if we have alternative networks will the "internet" be truly free from looming US Taxes, RIAA and anything "evil-by-your-standards" you can throw in the bag at this point.
I guess we need a shot of Al Gore to create yet another version of the Net

Did you even read the Article? It's not one backward little country as you put, it's 10 countries. |
