Dear Bob,

Based on my experience i say, this problem you will find only in the
environment of organizations. This people need the theater, the clouds,
the mist clouds.
Very good you see it in all IGF lists and groups. They don't like to
speak about the basic needs. If we focus our view to the packet
transport, we have two requirements:
a) the flow of the packets from one device to the other
b) the content is not altered
to a) We use the pathes, what we have to create. You speak also about
"roads and sidewalks". Then, we come directly to the question of
navigation. If you walk, go with the bycicle, motorcycle, car, bus and
trucks, what you do? You use the geografical information from your
destination. Easy, or not?
But not in the telecommunication. They create the indirect addressing
scheme, that they can use centralized institutions. IANA, ICANN, part of
IETF, all NICs and so on. All this structures we don't need, if we use
the geografical position for our IP destination address.
But all our destination devices, or nearly all, are part of a local
network. We can also say "Community Network". We split our 128 bit
address in two 64 bit addresses. Local and global. And we can say, the
local addressing scheme is a decision of the people local. For our
global transport we don't need the local address part.
And we have two objects. Data and transport information. The data we
never open. In our transport system we use only the transport
information, the IP header.
to b) Historically we use TCP. In this time, with electro mechanical
relais, it was impossible to create a checksum for verification. But we
do it. In every segment, the way between two routers, we organize the
packet verification. Then we don't need TCP.
In the IGF or ISOC lists, Vint Cerf never speak against. He know very
clear, that TCP is superflous. Maybe, he don't like it. But the others
made a big theater.
You see, and i know, you see, telecommunication can be very easy. But
not with that, what we give the name "Community Networks" like FreiFunk,
Funkfeuer, Guifi Net, Buenos Aires Libre, AlterMundi and so on.
They are market oriented, create business propaganda and never start to
go in in the basics of telecommunication.
We have some examples in this list.
"Community licence" from Ritu and Nico. We know, what is a licence. It
is very simiçar to ownership. You spoke about. The first step always is
the general exclusion. The second step is the selective opening for using.
"Community Server structure". AlterMundi and Codigo Sur speak about. But
in reality, they use the server infrastructure from Guifi-Net in
Catalonia. Also for this list.
"Libre Router and Libre-Mesh". I searched a little bit. Libre-Mesh don't
exist in the last days. Then i searched the design of this embedded
control system. The old Atheros AR9344 device. You can find some
reference design from Atheros, because TP-Link and others use it. But
not the construction data from the Libre Router. Private? Private Ownership?
"Routing", We have two principal rooting mechanism. Link State Based and
Vector Based. Cisco work with a mix of that (EIGRP). Now it is an open
protocol. The Link-State algorithms come from the military research
centers. If they want to kill the local people, they come in mobile
groups. And every device have to act as a connection node. Then we come
to B.A.T.M.A.N.
"The real challenge is" to put out this cheap market and controller
propaganda from our space. Not the people, because all person have the
capability to understand. Also Ritu and Nico. We need a strong
discussion about the basics. And at the beginning we have to be radical.
many greetings, willi
Manaus, Brasil

I'm afraid to look at my Wikipedia entry because
there is too much temptation to quibble over how I'm interpreted :). I don't see
the Regulatorium so much a collusion as a system problem based on policies framed in the
assumption that intermediaries carry speech much like a railroad carries freight rather
than transporting bits apart from their meaning. As with any of my writings I always think
I can always do better. The "purpose" piece actually came together quickly one
morning and I haven't revisited it because it worked well enough.
The real challenge is how to get people to think outside of the telecom framing which is
so implicit in the very words we use. I'm open to suggestions.
There is some irony because once people understand the power of open, best efforts,
connectivity the worries about being restricted can easily turn into worries about it
being too easy to communicate. For example drones can be very inexpensive for managing
crops but they can also be intrusive.
