A Private European Internet?

jakemk2 writes "Bill Thompson writing in The Register advocates a private European Internet to stop the fact that it has "been so extensively abused by the United States and its politicians, lawyers and programmers that it has become a serious threat to the continued survival of the network as a global communications medium" Read it here" His logical fallacy is , of course, thinking that the US has a monopoly on this kind of thing.

Sinking Fast ?!?!

I'd have to say the economic future for the EU is getting better. They will wield a massive economic interest in a corporate world run on profit. With the socialist government point of view and a united front, look out world. This will NOT be good for NON EU'ers, and MAY not be good for some EU'ers, but the days of them being an economic non-entity are coming to a close. The definition of super-power has shifted, and the lines of power have blurred. Soon ecomonic entities will be the true super-powers, and nationalist entities will be consumer, or if you are lucky customer bases to be exploited/tapped.
