In the Bahamas, the govt owns the phone company Batelco and outlawed
Skype because they make a lot of revenue on their monopoly. Of

You can't use Skype in the Bahamas. Also, you're a moron.


I think that answer was from the "reality based community" which tells
you a lot.


It doesn't tell plume anything. She just thinks everyone is a moron and
racist.


It seems to me that the govt can pass any laws it wants but if they
have no way to enforce the law the law is meaningless and a waste of
money. *They would have to inspect every computer or ban all encrypted
communications which would entirely shut down commerce. *This was an
attempt to produce a govt monopoly without any consideration of
advances in technology that might bypass the govt tech.


I am sure there are plenty of proxy servers the Bahamians can use. I
know when they ask the chinese about how well their firewall works the
kids just laugh. It keeps the dumb people locked out.


Once again, the "reality based community" send us all into fits of
laughing, no wonder they cannot run the economy.


Yeah, success like Bush/Cheney we can do without.
