If I understood the original goal of internet correctly, taking down a few nodes should not bring down the net. Given the consolidating nature of private business, would that not eventually result in only one or two of these... companies remaining, thereby defeating the redundancy feature of the net?
Many a Dot-Com-mer who went bust in the past tried selling other peoples stuff, they didn't have any of their own.
The INQ is possibly one of those that "dominate"
People who make stuff, get bought out by those that don't have any stuff.
Calling 30% of internet traffic “dominating” is a bit of a stretch, isn’t it? It would have to be at least 50% before you can say they “dominate”.
A series of tubes which feed the hyper giants the content of the substance of our lives. Run for your matrices!
