Restricting Internet usage will kill innovation and competitiveness of US firms. In the US, Canada and most of Europe companies will not see a limitation on the internet. Here is is common to buy a massive internet connection - my last job in France we had a 2meg internet connection, then 6 then 12 in an 18 month period. That 12 meg does not include the 155meg connection that we had to our HQ back in the US, it was only internet.<BR/>Countries like India will suffer, partially because of the poor infrastructure and partially because of big business. As a consultant I built the internet connection for a major organization, and part of that project included secure lines. Secure in the sense that people could not access the lines and rip them out to sell the copper.<BR/>Given the choice between dropping line of copper on the ground, or only buried 6 inches, and the option of having a company pay a lot for a great connection, the carriers will go to the people with deep pockets first and then the small businesses get whatever is left over.Richard McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09791855328362207178noreply@blogger.com
