Hi,

I personally think their want the monopoly back. Oh, the good old times without competition :-)

DTAG will not have an open peering policy. But even more dangerous is that some of the politicans who try to form a new government in Germany think this "German Internet" is a good idea. They also talk about a "Schengen Internet". The UK is not member of the club of the Schengen countries, so they and their secret service would not be part of this new "European internet".

Officially the German government is against the American spying, but internally they prepare for something totally different like copying more and more traffic from peering points.

If the funny ideas make it into laws this will not be funny anymore.

Regards,

Wilhelm

I find it sad how little understanding there is on how the Internet works.  Interestingly enough this end goal of this silly proposal could  be achieved by  3320  having an open peering policy
