Hi, Peter - Ah, 'disintermediation.' The Battle in Seattle, restated.

"Whatever nation-states no longer do, they will still have immense power in spreading the word - that is, providing the information people need to govern themselves....Others, like the regulation of competition, move to international bodies. But all can see what the others are doing - and debate whether it is fair and how it might be made more effective - because national governments are committed to using the new technologies of networked communication to create a whole. Communication alone can make that process greater than the sum of its parts."

Then why won't they give us broadband?

The internet as the instrument of "secular reformation" ? But the saying is, "All government is local."

Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me. ;-)
