    CBR would it be possible or too cost prohibitive for countries to set up mini-internets specifically for tax-collection and such?
    I don't have a strong opinion either way, just wondering and every now and then playing devil's advocate.

    I have really no idea how costly it would be. The future will only make internet more integrated in our lives so I think having one standard is the best for making it as smooth and cheap for all of us.

    Guys the internet is a lot of mini networks. The issue is that these independent networks have a global control point in direct violation of the orginal design and intent of the internet.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    Ah that's what I figured, thought I might as well ask though. Well it will be interesting to see how this turns out. Although I think the only way a country could truly ensure its IT infrastructure would be to have its own mini-web for government purposes. Though I bet it would be cost-prohibitive for small/poor countries.
