In other news... Tcp/IP with an always on connection only makes nodes venerable to constant bombardment from any 3rd world country.<p>No TCP/IP means no 3rd world access. Modern domestic protocols keep jurisdictions relevant, with regulation mostly being 100% domestic. Tcp/IP will always exist, but is not a 21st century choice as a primary domestic networking protocol.<p>Duh.. Would have been so cliche (infrastructure is national security).<p>No spam.. No robocalls... No ransomware.. No malware.. Domestic access layers can be expressed in plain english, in much the same way speedlimits are on domestic roadways.<p>The data on the data network (not quite intranet) will still be quality data with domestic networks/protocols. Good news travels fast.
