In a world where the internet industry is becoming more and more like the telecoms industry, the necessity of users to have protocol level access to the network is diminishing, and the dangers of doing so are becoming greater. Which telcos will blithely hand out SS7 interconnects to users? Without (routable) IP access, there would be no SYN floods of distant networks, no source spoofing, less hacking, easier traceability, and the BGP table need only be OTO 1 entry per non-leaf node on a provider interconnection graph.That's why everyone is abandoning traditionals ISPs and going with proxy providers like AOL.
Um, "Huh, Phil?" Following the Boardwatch ISP directory, for just one source, seems to indicate otherwise. This is a fairly sweeping observation... on what sources do you base it?
