Video Calls on Mobile Phones is a standard. Voice Calls on Phones is a standard. SMS on Mobile Phones is a standard.
Jabber works a cross platform, you can run your own Jabber server for instant messaging. IRC is also widely available, *nix users can use it from the command line. You can also run your own server.
Many VoIP systems are compatible with the telephone network, and each other.
Communication isn't as fragmented as people think; but more compatibility is always welcome.
I have never seen a firewall outside the corporate environment and software based firewalls are easily turned off by the user. NAT routers are protecting most home users today, and hopefully in the future.
My most heavily used domain has no server at root or www but that doesn't mean it hasn't been in constant use for the past 8 years. It's actually an integral part of all my online activities. Everything from email to OpenID to DNS and the list goes on.
Slashdot Mirror
Some author who's selling a book makes unsupported claims in order to sell aforementioned book.
Why is this on slashdot?
Users = People who fund Sony.
Why not just ask the Pirate Party to take the pad offline?
I don't buy it. The police don't shut down phone exchanges just to stop a drug deal. Sounds like a scapegoat to me.
This is why you don't host servers in the same country as the government that you're challenging.

In Australia it was also ICQ, and MSN.
But IRC was huge at that time as well.
I read that a little fast then and thought you said "Disembowelment of Lawyers".
I'll chip in for that.
That would work so long as it became standard practice.
Personally I think everyone is just going IP crazy for the sake of it.
Nobody has firewalls.

What, people want to do it anyway?
It's called security.
NAT is a good thing.
Because it was something to do, why else?
So if I'm in Australia and my Registrar is in the U.S. am I eligible to trademark the domain?
Verisign being the registry operator of .com and .net are also in the U.S. but .com and .net are officially country independent top level domains.
Unfortunately I think the comment period ended.

What do webservers have to do with domains?
My most heavily used domain has no server at root or www but that doesn't mean it hasn't been in constant use for the past 8 years. It's actually an integral part of all my online activities. Everything from email to OpenID to DNS and the list goes on.
The email bounces.
Nissan have no right to the domain nissan.com
Wanting a domain does not entitle Nissan Motors to it.
Whoever registers it first.
How do you register a trademark on a domain?
Last I check domains covered the globe, your trademark doesn't.
Are you one of those Greenpeace Hippies?
Seek facts not propaganda.
Even better for the employee is that they are going to be working for the same CEOs again at another company.
What about the oil? We can't leave that behind.
It's been a standard for more than 10 years. People use it once then the novelty wears off.
If they cry wolf 500 times then what ever happens to them isn't an injustice. 500 is allot of victims, you can't receive an injustice at that point.
The domain is hosted by godaddy. Is anyone surprised?
In Australia $60 AUS/USD (the exchange rate is almost 1:1) will get 1.5Mb connection with 25GB download cap.
