This is like a LinkedIn article. 8 ways to do this, 5 systems to improve that, 3 things to avoid when doing the next thing and 9 traits of the successful Whatshisname.
It's maddening.
It's time to put those creaky ancient machines out to pasture.

Isn't it about time for corporations that support open communications to stand up to a government behaving like a 6 year old wanting a new toy?

If the top 10 major ISP's got together and said 'screw you, shut us down!' do you think the government would push their luck?
Better question: How do you feel about corporations being so powerful they can dictate terms to your government?
Rewind 35 years and replace "corporations" with "unions". I would also expect the government to say "screw you" to these hypothetically petulant ISPs because they (the government) are part of the representatives of the people duty bound to uphold the rule of law and the protection of freedoms.
Ironic, eh?
