I was discussing this report with former Secratary of Homeland Security, Tom Ridge. He told me that he had been pussing for a.terrorist TLD for two years. He wants all terrorist web sites to have this domain extension. Al Queda is strongly opposed.

Several observations:
1. this will not put verizon out of buisness. Philly still needs to buy the bandwith from an isp(ultimatly verizon).
2. If they charge money, some home users will still want high speed(i.e comcast).
3. Buisnesses will still need real bandwidth and QOS.
4. people will take the municipal signal and share it in their home with their linksys WiFi routers and people like me will still pick it up for free from their neighbors.
5. If philly's government does it it will suck.
6. maybe the DRPA will pay for it and it won't be paid for by tax $$ but where funding for a project like should be coming from... bridge tolls.
my 2 cents.
(PS if they do it at all it should be free)
2 more cents
