change to the way the Internet work. based on financial times journal

Oxford Information Labs warns "The new proposed IP will lead to more
centralized, top-down control of the Internet".

do you think this will split the Internet, and affect the openness of
the Internet?

I found that really interesting.  It has caused me to stay up past my 
bedtime. :)  I looked a bit and found this:

It's short on details, but one part stands out to me:

"...improved content delivery through replication in special deployed 
CDN systems..."

To me this says centralized control, which is not scalable.  I don't 
see anyone agreeing to do this, except as an experiment, unless forced.

Additionally, I would have to agree with many of the conclusions in the 
article you referenced.

This is one I have been following for some time.  It is really 
interesting in that security from snooping is in the fundamental 
design.

Skip to the "Overview" section if you don't want a history of why
the new architecture is needed.  Also, John Day, a principle of the 
architecture is an original:
