Report Looks at How China Meddled With the Internet

Posted November 18, 2010 8:18 AM

From NYT > Technology:

An annual report to Congress touched off a round of speculation Wednesday about the motives of a small Chinese Internet service provider that briefly rerouted as much as 15 percent of the world's Web traffic on two occasions last spring.

Original article first published in the Technology section of the New York Times.

I'm surprised no one with good knowledge of the Internet structure has commented here. Does that mean no one on CR4 has this knowledge? Or does it mean nothing can be done about it? My understanding is that the way information "flows" on the Internet, little can be done to keep this sort of thing happening.

Experts? Comments?
