Thanks for your input, AUX-in! I'll definitely check out the vid.

I don't yet take a concrete position regarding government-provided internet as a public utility. I'm not sure that a body as large and slow as government could effectively manage access to the web. (Senator Ted Stevens' "series of tubes" talk comes to mind.)

I do approach the subject from a biased position, given my propensity to favor deregulation and strong support of file sharing as the only viable means of acquisition for the content I enjoy.

Though I don't imagine that internet management by the US govt would have much (if any) impact on darknet activities, based upon the little effect that mass surveillance has had on the same.
