Re: Iran cuts 95% of Internet traffic

[Wayne Bouchard <web () typo org>]

Though Iran's situation is hardly a new advent, it reminds me that
more and more countries seem to be going for the centralized
filter/control/kill option and what a sad development that is. It sure
seems like this is going to vastly change how inter-nation traffic (or
at least inter-continental) is exchanged between providers and even
how bandwidth is sold. It feels to me like it won't be too much longer
before such things start to become somewhat less a matter of business
and more a matter of treaty.
