• Client As Server: The New Model

  Death of Static IP + Authorized Use Policies
  My concern is that the Static IP number is an endangered
  animal. Many ISPs are no longer giving out Static IP numbers for
  their DSL customers. It's hard to be a server without one. I know
  there are some DNS services out there but that isn't a mature
  solution yet. The other issue is that as ISPs become more corporate,
  their Acceptable Use Policies will restrict forms of speech that those
  corporations don't like. At first you won't be able to post "libelous"
  comments on your own web site, then they'll shutdown Napster
  style file sharing. There needs to be some kind of government
  protection for this kind of speech, and I'm not confident we'll
  get the sorts of protections that are our right.
