I don't wish to sound overly dramatic, but I don't know if we've got years.
Old moves to make hacker tools illegal is having a universal revival at
present and looking like pushing legislation through in the States and
Europe.
This is one of the reasons I believe the network has to be peer to peer
distributed.
In time, I have little doubt that packages will have to be distributed that
way also, so I see the priority in getting things up and running in any form
yesterday.

National environments want to possess the net.
They will brook no alternate structure there any more than they do in the
'real' world now.
Regards,

Weaver.
