 They are NOT. Also note the word PUBLIC in PUBLIC-ROOT.

 Yeh, that's just great - "PUBLIC" being used in propoganda compaign to
 create what appears to be private internet in China...

Sounds kind of like the People's Democratic Republic of China, to me. In that it is neither democratic nor a republic, that is.

Lots of words tend to get highly abused in this world, many times to mean anything but the original usage. Public is one of them. CAN-SPAM now means "I *can* spam".


        Nothing new here, move along....
