Hi Saul,

Thanks for this very interesting read. One striking quote, reminding me of
the Lima workshop Julian described:

"In fact today, according to a company called Arbor Networks who have
access to a significant majority of the world’s internet traffic, about
60% of all web traffic terminates at about 150 companies, and about 30% of
all web traffic terminates at about 30 companies. 6% of web traffic is the
result of just one company: Google."

Best wishes,

Magnus
