You've heard it here first ;-)

But it's still only a rumor...

(does any of you have more news about it?)

Aparently, few big carriers in the States are preparing a lawasuit against
RPKI creators, since they are funded by US government, _and_ are mandating
the system that the ISPs will need to implement... so - anti-trust suit? 
Conflict of interests? etc...

I could only find some "old news" about this:
http://www.networkworld.com/news/2010/121510-feds-internet-routing-security.html

That's why it is very important to continue with the development of the 
alternatives to the routing security...

BTW, I got a ticket for 28c3, so -- see you there!

Ciao,
Vesna
