Hi, Ant: 1) " ... darknet ... ": I am not aware of this terminology. Nonetheless, I believe that bringing in a not commonly known word into a discussion like this is just distraction tactic. 2) " ... progress ... ": EzIP proposes a parallel cyberspace to the current Internet which not only is none interfering to each other, but also promises to require bare minimum engineering efforts to deploy. This can settle the long debates on which way the Internet should go via true experiments. If this is not regarded as progress, I am not sure what qualifies so under your definition.

It essentially offers a parallel Internet for the peasants who can again expect protection from their local government who collects taxes, while without losing the benefits of the digital revolution. So essentially a darknet whose implementation happens to be patent-encumbered by you. This doesn’t sound like progress to me.
