[NNagain] pet peeves and policy recommendations

[Dave Taht <dave.taht@gmail.com>]

I scribbled down a few things that I wish had more champions.

1) The US government holds 10? 11? IPv4/8s. At the current market
prices for these that is over 700m per range. To cross the digital
divide new users and ISPs need IP addresses, the government itself
update more to rfc1918 and/or ipv6, and selling these off seems like a
way to fund other internet related projects.

2) Obviously I care deeply about more QoE technologies being deployed.
It makes an enormous difference in internet quality especially at low
bandwidths. I have been pilloried for suggesting too often that 25/10
with CAKE was actually all most american families need.

3) The CTO of the whitehouse position remains unfilled since the start
of the Biden administration. Perhaps with more clue at the top, and
office space for it that is not in the basement floor, with a sign
saying "Beware of the leopard", smarter policies will emerge.

4) I wish the world could focus less on bandwidth in general, more on
wifi and low latency at range, and less interference (e.g. smaller
default channel widths) and jitter

5) I really love the uIXP idea. IT has become very cheap to build a
SDN router capable of bgp and 100Gbit throughput. Every town could
have one or more open network interconnects, not just between the
biggest providers but also enabling newer technologies to emerge.

6) There is no 6!

7) Similarly, Biden''s electrification program (every 50 miles, a
charger) is a good place for a uIXP. Similarly, the postal service has
a lot of space everywhere mostly standing idle.

 8) IPv6, anyone?
