BBC: Let’s Kill the Internet and Start Over

[perry7 at mac.com]

Do we agree?

> Viewpoint: The internet is broken – we need to start over … Last year, the level and ferocity of
> cyber-attacks on the internet reached such a horrendous level that some are now thinking the
> unthinkable: to let the internet wither on the vine and start up a new more robust one instead.
> On being asked if we should start again, many – maybe most – immediately argue that the internet
> is such an integral part of our social and economic fabric that even considering a change in its
> fundamental structure is inconceivable and rather frivolous. I was one of those. However,
> recently the evidence suggests that our efforts to secure the internet are becoming less
> and less effective, and so the idea of a radical alternative suddenly starts to look less
> laughable. – BBC/ Prof Alan Woodward, Department of Computing, University of Surrey
