miladus writes "Speculation on The
Register about Al Jazeera and
whether they were simply victims of DDoS attacks or of a decision not
to be hosted in the US (and perhaps Europe):
'So right now we think the jury is still out. But in the long run the
question of whether the company was DDoSed or unplugged will be fairly
academic. Given that it's pretty much unthinkable that it could have
been allowed to continue running via US companies, it was going to go
anyway, one way or the other. Europe might be some form of solution, but
one might estimate that here too quite a few hosting outfits will view
Al Jazeera as a poisoned chalice, a customer with a profile several
notches to high.
And even if it does get itself sorted out on the other side of the
pond, it will still be likely to gain experience of how much of the
Internet, when it comes down to it, is actually US-owned. But perhaps it
has some cards. US companies wanting to play in the Middle East are
unlikely to find their local operations going down a storm if they're
refusing to do business with a popular TV station like Al Jazeera, so
they'll be pressured in both directions. That's the trouble with the
Internet - it connects things that sometimes you'd rather didn't get
connected.'

Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be
lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition.
