Thanks to Dan Agins for the provocation to have my heart balanced against the feather.

I often wonder what type of internet/www my daughters will get to experience. I’m not all that optimistic these days:

Wider Web Wiretap Law Is Sought – NYTimes.com: “Robert S. Mueller III, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, traveled to Silicon Valley on Tuesday to meet with top executives of several technology firms about a proposal to make it easier to wiretap Internet users. “

That’s my little omnivore.

I wonder how much bandwidth they push/pull every month?
