Above.net's blocking of ORBS led to fewer and fewer networks using ORBS and IMHO it contributed to the weakness that allowed the lawsuit to happen and thrive. If ORBS had been a stronger service with more users, they might have done things differently before or during the lawsuit.
Maybe, but I think your reaching.. :)
What happens to Digital Island if networks (especially large networks) start blocking them because they won't stop repeatedly scanning when asked? Can it do them *any* good?
That I agree with. I expect its a mistake on their end and they will fix it. It wouldn't be very scalable to scan every network hundreds of times and hour. andy -- PGP Key Available at http://www.tigerteam.net/andy/pgp
