About those parasites. Is there a market toll mechanism that can or does make users pay in some proportion to their use of the system? Otherwise, the internet will always be slow. I would suppose the only effective method would be to charge the local user of bandwidth, since the sender could be from another country. We could tax the user, and then have offsetting tax credits to those whose servers serve the internet. Admittedly, after it started, the government would probably want to make money on the internet, but maybe that is a risk necessary to take.

I'm always getting more and more SPAM on my Hotmail account (really need to just get a new address I suppose), and I notice the SPAM messages contain more and more data content (pictures, graphics, java applets)
