   Yeah, no. If this would ever happen, you can expect there to be many   
   underground darknets created and running separate from the net 2.0. There are   
   too many Fascist governments who want control, and it's pretty scary what they   
   would do with that power.   
      
   Heh, I already get taxed on my Internet services. Good luck tracking every   
   single email sent. Again, all it takes is someone to run email servers on   
   alternate ports and begin their own email system.   
      
   On the other hand, of it ever does happen, I would think that it would create   
   a need for independent BBSes again. Running ftp and an obscure dns network   
   would probably just about get messages there almost as fast as regular email.   
      
   Just my thoughts...
