Internet Kill Switch - Paul - 5 September 2012

There is no 'kill switch' for the internet, says inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee
I don't know about you but when a God type person says in a newspaper that something doesn't exist.
I've got to believe that:-
IT BLOOMING WELL DOES!
Why deny something exists? So publicly as well.
Is this his way of tipping us all off?

Agreed each gummint has on / off switches for all Cable, Satelite, Cell phone, Fibre Optic and Digital systems, so unless the interwebnet can operate via Ham and CB radio its definately turn offable.

An iternet type setup oes indeed exist between radio amateurs, using their own point to point radio transmissions.

It will be pretty darn limited though even with burst data transmission streams.

someone posted a link of James Wesley Rawls doing a telephone interview with an American web based 'real' news channel. I can't find it now but will repost it here when I do ... Anyway, one of the things Rawls kept saying was [WARNING TO PAUL ... DO NOT READ PAST THIS PART OF MY POST!] " become a radio ham ... become a radio ham ..." precisely because when the 'interweb' gets turned off, there will be, via ham radio, useful, viable alternatives for us to use. Damn, I wish I could find that link
Ok... here it is [WARNING FOR PAUL ... DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK!]

It can be unplugged by screwing up the power network

The internet can be cut off very easily by targetting the main ISPs. 95% of us use them and the other 5 won't have anyone to talk to. Back to Bulllitin boards, telephone and radio.

Yes, its slow and cumbersome, but it does get messages through.
Much to reliant on computer technology for me though, especially as those systems are so power hungry.
RE: Internet Kill Switch - bigpaul - 6 September 2012
computers have to have a power source( unless your on wifi) so if TPTB kill the power then no more computers.
