mimartin Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Really interesting read. I hope they do a back-up first QFT Sound like a very good plan, but for some reason I have a bad feeling about this. Add on: My questions are: What is Al Gore involvement? Or is he beyond this and off saving us from other threats now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litofsky Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 What benefits would this 'new Internet' have? Oddly, I like the one I have now. And I too have a bad feeling about that. It's just going to be if the risks outweigh the benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Easier maintenance along base connection lines, improved ability to provide global access, and general +13 awesome points. I don't see much of a risk, except I don't know the exact specifications of the entire proposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed... already have a bad feeling about it. Whats wrong with the one we have?
