The implications of this are scary. Hijacking of IP space by a private company, supported by the government?
Niels, The UK government have looked at this as a possibility to use this non-technology as away for the banks to advise ISP's about false bank logon schemes "phishing sites". The UK industry lead by the members of the London Internet Exchange responded with a paper outlining how this non-solution was fatally flawed and would actually not resolve this problem at all, and actually give a false sense of security. The UK government has since agreed with the industry and is working on other possible solutions, like the banks solving their own problem with token like technologies etc, rather than let us poor operators solve their problems for them. I hope this "non-technology" gets the patent it deserves! Regards, Neil.
