Government will try to tame the wild Web

good luck.

The internet as a communication medium is far too powerful to be tamed by any govt in the world. There are many people that will go to great lengths to prevent censorship of the net.

It is rightly feared by govts because their actions are brought before the entire planet in a matter of hours, so traditional propaganda is out the window as well.

Once we move to satelitte based ISP's the fun will really begin. I anticipate at least a few imperial minded govts will attempt to control space as well, to no avail.
