I referred only to what I understand to be conventional wisdom. And as a US citizen/resident, I worry the most about our local vulnerability.<br /><br />That said, I'm not convinced that overall Internet accessibility, proxied by average bandwidth available to homes, is the best measure of vulnerability to cyberwar. IMO, Internet integration with national infrastructure (e.g., government, financial, energy, and industrial sectors) creates a far more serious exposure than personal uses.Edward M.

They've at least convinced me to not reuse passwords.<br />I'll challenge you on the idea that US would be most harmed by an interwebs failure. Although the net originated in the US, it grows much faster in countries like Japan and Korea where there is serious competition. Countries like the US and Canada have much less speed and capacity, so you could argue we rely less on our networks.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00969701260211272581noreply@blogger.com
