To follow up the GNN report on Net espionage and NSA
sniffing:
For a quick overview of the prime sites for sniffing, see
the informative map of the major US NAP's, routers and
interconnections at:

MAE-East, MAE-West, MAE-Chicago and others are detailed

AltaVista offers more about the Routing Arbiter project -
- for examples, www.ra.net; rrdb.ra.net; rrdb.merit.edu;
isi.com -- as well as about FIX-East and FIX-West,
various NAP's and the international exchanges and
routers.
Is there technology for eluding these espionage-enabled
chokepoints -- tunneling, satellite-richochet or
otherwise?
The newly announced Planet 1 personal satellite phone
system, $2,500 a unit, could it provide secure privacy
off the heirarchical telecomm throttle? Or, are all
options slowly being shutdown by regulated greed?
