So if the feds intend to regulate cyberspace, what specific sorts of
regulations are possible at this point?
Forget laws, what is *technically* and institutionally feasible?
Can they just throw out TCP/IP and mandate X25? Can TCP/IP be "tamed?" How
can they control private virtual networks that piggyback on the basic
network structure?
Just questions. No answers.
