It always worries me when people in charge seem so detached from technological reality
General Keith Alexander, who heads the U.S. Cyber Command doesn’t make me feel very good about the U.S. Cyber Command.
A comment on the above linked page says it very well:
“I’m not sure what’s so hard for the General to get about this. Either he gets a completely private network on private lines or he has a virtual network, and the technology for that is pretty well understood. He makes it sound as if some architectural restructuring of the Internet is necessary, and it makes no sense. BYÂ LARRY SELTZERÂ on 09/23/2010 at 19:08”
