Re: Internet2

[Dynalysis of Princeton <mail@dynalysis.com>]

I asked one of our technical staff here since we work with gov and
universities.  Seems it is an ultra-fast data transfer internet and I
did check it out.  Unless there are secure data  that are being used, it
would seem that that research information (i.e., subject to FOIA) would
still be available for all interested parties.  It is the method of
securing data that should not be subject to public sources that concerns
me and it is not clear to me that internet2 would be a threat there
unless information was misused -- i.e., like historical DOE information
and abuses.

My concerns still remain the tone that is being set by information
industries that are buying and selling information about private
citizens for profit and the laws that allow (or lack of laws) to ruin
people's lives, misuse information and interrupt everyone's right to
privacy and good medical care.
