Another -8220;Cut-In and Test Procedure-8221; document dated January 24, 2003,
provides diagrams of how AT&T Core Network circuits were to be run through the
-8220;splitter-8221; cabinet (pdf 7). One page lists the circuit IDs of key Peering Links which were
h-;cut-in-; in February 2003 (pdf 8), including ConXion, Verio, XO, Genuity, Qwest,
PAIX, Allegiance, Abovenet, Global Crossing, C&W, UUNET, Level 3, Sprint, Telia,
PSINet, and Mae West. By the way, Mae West is one of two key Internet nodal points in
the United States (the other, Mae East, is in Vienna, Virginia). It's not just WorldNet
customers who are being spied on-;it's the entire Internet.

Ya they invented it, whats yo point? :1orglaugh

:Oh crap

The government would love to know everything about us. The books you checked out at the library, what you bought at the hardware store, where you drove your car last week, but here in 2006 this isn't all possible.

Think of a time when everything in our daily lives goes through the internet in some way, everything. This early internet power grab by the government is just a guarantee that they will eventually have total information awareness.

I am still waiting for my chip implant.

Didn't read the article yet. Point is if you control the root nameservers you in the end own the Internet.

It's come to my attention that no one as stupid as Bush could possibly be in charge, he's just a pawn. I truly believe this.

Exactly what it is...a power grab.

And it will keep the republicans/their friends (or their puppets) in power forever.

I've been saying it for years.

Say goodbye to a 2 party system....with total information awarness...they will simply find the skeletons in their enemies closets, and lock them away forever.

Uh... no he didn't. Thomas Alva Edison invented the Light Bulb. Humphrey Davy invented the Safety Lamp.

Interesting read, but leaves a lot of open questions. Why would AT&T the utility itself be tied to using a passsive device like a splitter? Cost? I think not. What's one more port on a router or a repeater point within a NOC. A replicated signal in an active device wouldn't suffer a time or signal loss to the main communication.

sorry my mistake davy invented the electric light edison improved it and stuck it in a bulb.. either or , the point is the same.. Whoever invented it doesnt give them the right to steal the product from people later..

i.e.. ___________ Invented the lightbulb , that doesnt mean i want _________ relatives coming to my house and stealing my lights..

Fill in the name of the inventor of your choice.

The US us out to steal as much info as they can, and I am sure that it wont stop when this asshole leaves.

Nothing is private now a days. What's interesting is that the FBI, CIA, NSA and Treasury department have access to all the super secret spy stuff that knows everything about you and hears everything you say 24/7 but the local cops have to beg a judge for simple wires to tap a phone.

Funny bandwagon people I love it. :thumbsup :thumbsup

Should we be surprised by this? Power brings paranoia, which means more spying. Its not just the Bush government, its ANY government. They all want to know what everyone else is thinking.
