I personally think their want the monopoly back. Oh, the good old times without competition :-)
the smell is just too strong here to go unnoticed: this is pure market powerplay for dominance in the disguise of "The Good for the People". If domestic traffic needs to be routed within the borders of that very domain - whether this is a country or the Schengen EU - it would drastically reduce the number of carriers, ISPs etc. In essence, the only carrier(s) to be able to do this on a national/Schengen EU wide level is/are the... [DRUM ROLL] incumbent carrier(s)! If if this is even backed by a law specifically made for this: it's Christmas, Easter and the respective CEO's birthday on 365 days of the year from now on. Hooray, life is beautiful again! The interesting bit is: this is *NOT* a layer 3/4 issue - this is the mother of all layer 8 and higher issues. And therefore should only be dealt with there. I cannot be told that whoever aims at tapping a "national" or "Schengen EU" Internet will fail to do so, because of... it's different architecture? It's deployed for only being tapped by the "Good Ones" aka. "our" spies? Or what? Best, -C.
