What will happen when that happens?
My prediction: core routers will implement IP-level filters on the
entire AOL domain.
Hey presto, no more problems.
And yes, I _know_ there are enough people who can and will do
something like that if it gets out of hand. Not to mention the legions
of hackers that will crack the core routers just to do this. Or to
randomly garble 1 in every 1000 bytes from there.
