\"NY<\/a>Interesting story<\/a> in last weekend’s NY Times, claiming that “The era of the American Internet is ending.” The headline says that Internet Traffic Begins to Bypass the U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n

[Actually, I think that transition began almost a decade ago with the construction of various global fibre networks.]<\/p>\n

The article seems to be based on concerns about the US losing access to spying on foreign communications. <\/p>\n

Internet industry executives and government officials have acknowledged that Internet traffic passing through the switching equipment of companies based in the United States has proved a distinct advantage for American intelligence agencies. In December 2005, The New York Times reported that the National Security Agency had established a program with the cooperation of American telecommunications firms that included the interception of foreign Internet communications.<\/p>\n

Some Internet technologists and privacy advocates say those actions and other government policies may be hastening the shift in Canadian and European traffic away from the United States. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are all sorts of irrelevant statistics in the article – read the story and you’ll see what I mean.<\/p>\n

A question arises whether ISPs can force traffic onto routes that will avoid the US.<\/p>\n
