I do find it very interesting with all of what has happened post 9/11. Or maybe it's just more in the open now since then. But now we have the gov't putting there noses into everything network related it seems. For example, the Patriot Act (not saying this is good bad, i'll leave my thoughts to myself), CALEA and every other wire-tapping means that they have. Hell, now we even have SOX, but that wasn't really due to 9/11 but having that in place does it make life a pain for those in Enterprise IT. I think we have a very interesting next couple of years ahead of us with the Administration change. It will be interesting to see if the internet gets more regulated or less regulated. My $.02 worth.

NEVER!I must say, if you're a provider with US presence and you're not paying attention to the FCC, DHS (NCS, NCSD) and possibly that thing called NSTAC you may wake up one day and be amazed what is going on. Take an example - Unregulated chemical industry becomes regulated under DHS. (One of the 17 sectors that the govvies track). There's stuff to track that doesn't involve having a full time employee to associate with it, but some allocation of time is valuable. If you don't, who knows, you may have Senator Stevens setting policy that is relevant to you. http://hsgac.senate.gov/ http://homeland.house.gov/ There's all sorts of interesting stuff in this space to track. What if your network traffic doubled tomorrow due to a pandemic outbreak and everyone starts telecommuting? http://www.dhs.gov/xprevprot/programs/editorial_0760.shtm Perhaps it's wrong, or maybe they're right? I think continuing to watch the activities in this space are going to be critical to our evolution as providers of these ip packets. - Jared ps. other stuff of interest: www.it-scc.org (free) www.pcis.org (us, ca) -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared () puck nether net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
