Dewayne Hendricks on the Darknet
Posted on October 7th, 2009
Dewyane Hendricks, one of the foremost implementers of wireless networks anywhere, and a guy so far over the leading edge that the leading edge asks him for directions, talks about the rise of the “darknet” (dark net?) in a 5-minute interview at Broadband Strategy Week, my set of video interviews about, well, broadband strategy. On the Darknet you can get just about any content you want, especially in the gated communities where sharers trust one another. Dewayne thinks that we’re not paying enough attention to this when we think about policy, especially since the Darknet is getting more accessible all the time.

You are not expected to understand it from the words themselves, but rather it relies on a subcultural context from long ago in net.time]

Yes, that’s basically it. I’ll leave it at that, since I doubt anyone reading here will know the full, err, flavor.
