Talk:Political media

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

By the way, the internet is a medium I put high hopes into, else I wouldn´t write this. But the internet is prone to sabotage, because most data flows through a few knots, so if you bomb down, hack or compromise a few of them you can affect 95% of the world´s available data bandwidth, still 80% after a few days of reconfiguration. The state cares for roads to walk, ride and drive on, it should care for the internet, too.

This is exaggeration. Most of bandwidth goes inside countries, not to US and from US, as author seems to think. To destroy 95% of data bandwidth you would have to sabotage many thousands (if not more) of data lines. --Taw

Nearly all american traffic flows over a few knots in NY; London & Paris for Europeean traffic. The "need" to cut costs has lead to a very concentrated picture, the old picture of the decentral ARPAnet is not valid anymore. Grasso
