It's not cool if your an ISP. Me company is currently moving our Mail Servers to another ISP because AOL/RR is blocking all the servers on our subnet. Hopefully C1 host win their suit, and save us IT Managers some grief!:)

Large corporations have historically always got what they wanted, unless of course the government had steped in. I'm no longer so concerned if this technology will be implemented. I am now concerned about HOW the computing community will deal with it. Gates already said he doesn't plan on deploying trusted computing technologies immediately. Why wouldn't he want to deploy this technology that can supposedly stop all forms of piracy? People will not buy computers that do not do what they ask. MS will wait until their TC enabled OS is prevailent on most PCs, and then send a signal from Redmond enabling it. There will be no way out. People will have to learn to live with it. After all they paid hundreds of dollars for their PC, right? You can't stop progress, but you can try.

Scary Stuff. However, I donâ(TM)t think Senator Hatch would be for it if the Govâ(TM)tâ(TM)s computers got destroyed by this âtechnologyâ(TM), because some secretary wanted to listen to Michael Bolton songs while she filed away petitions. Or even worse, someone could create a virus that would be used to destroy the computers of the systems sending the program.

I'm glad to see there are Ashcrofts in the UK. I thought we (US) were the only ones this stupid!
