Sounds like a simple plan to ensure more stringent governmental control of what goes on over the 'net; the existing internet is effectively a lost cause, as far as censorship is concerned. But I wonder how they'll manage to isolate it from the rest of the world—after all, what stops me from linking to it (assuming that IPv6 is supported all around)?

How big of a threat do you feel this new internet could pose? Do you think China could eventually overtake the US in technology? Is the US taking the critical steps it needs to to protect it's dominance? How do you feel about FIRST's role in the change?

Why are you (and by extension, why is the U.S.) so concerned with dominance? Describing these things as "critical" indicates a predisposition to forget about the rest of the world, doesn't it?
