    Broadband Users Can Now Move to the Consumer Root
    by Anonymous on Tuesday April 26 2005, @02:57PM (#14981)
    Broadband Users Can Now Move to the Consumer Root

    It costs them about $56 U.S. (search WRT54G)

    The software is of course open-source and free.

    The details are of course loaded into their $56
    device to make sure that the ISOC and the U.S.
    Government can not censor that information. The
    missing chapters from "Ruling the Root" are there.

    We Have Consensus - People Agree ICANN is History
    by Anonymous on Tuesday April 26 2005, @03:16PM (#14982)
    We Have Consensus - People Agree ICANN is History

    Many people have a hard time understanding how
    consensus forms and continues to grow and
    becomes, consensus - You know, that thing that
    people can not get their heads around ?

    Since 1998 consensus has grown. ICANN has failed.
    There has been no vote, yet the consensus is
    widely known. People vote with their feet and
    their PCs and route around ICANN. ICANN is now
    ready for the history books, just like the IAHC.

    One problem: What happens to all of the money
    that is flowing into ICANN ? Can the brain-dead
    patient remain on life-support forever ? Is there
    even a plug to pull ?
