| I don't think there are hacker trades in the uniformed US Army. Prolly just civies or gov't contractors working for the Army where fit levels are not required. Just the same, I've always wondered if I could take my Planetside 2 skills hacking turrets over to the real world but my K/D ratio sucks and nano emitters haven't been invented yet. |

| If The Internet Becomes A Public Utility, You'll Pay More Taxes - The ISPs, assuming they are arms length from the Telcos, have to pay bandwidth fees and upgrade the technology. The Telcos state that a majority of their operating costs are due to maintenance and infrastructure upgrade. These costs, and arguably are mitigated by government assistance to the Telcos for these upgrades, are passed down to the end user. If the internet, and mostly infrastructure costs, are a Telecommunications Service, then the public should ows the infrastructure, and the operating costs would reduced becuase of government capital injections. Might pay more taxes but then the service costs and bandwidth caps should then be reduced or eliminated. Or open the door for more profiteering. I think its not a bad concept but as usual the public will get nickle and dimed. |

Of course. The newest one always gets to claim that title.
But what about standards compliance?

Yeah, hackers are quite often not "physically fit".
Also, the best hackers are not US citizens.
So, go figure what happens if it ever comes to cyber-warefare (or, whatever that it going to be called)...

Does not look like a big number.

In the US, Canada and other greedy countries, probably yes.
Prices (and taxes) have been going down around here (but we have healthy competition around here).

It's only the special agents that needs to be fit, since they're field guys.
the computer scientists doesn't have that requirement. |
