*/If you haven't been following the Snowden/NSA revelations you really 
should  as what is being revealed is a direct assault on the Internet as 
we know it and what is being shown is sufficiently damaging that the 
Internet may not be able to continue in it's current form…What is clear 
is the the USGovernment and certain of its specific allience largely but 
not exclusively through their intelligence agencies has direct access to 
all information -- encrypted or not, including financial, transactional, 
health, diplomatic, voice and image and so on -- transmitted via the 
Internet (or through other electronic means). That private 
communications by certain heads of State, the UN, the EU, and others 
have been routinely accessed (and presumably used in strategic ways)./*

*//*

*/How this will be reponded to, is not yet clear, but several 
governments are currently working actively to develop national Internets 
(balkanization of the Internet); many individuals, companies and 
corporates are actively re-assessing re-assigning their communications 
activities to new carriers (and ultimately perhaps new formats) and 
these are still very early days…/*
