I expect we'll hear lots of pontification, quietly fading away when someone explains to the pontificators just how expensive it would be to do what they want, and ask where the money is coming from. It would be swell if Brazil routed its Internet traffic somewhere other than Miami, for purely technical reasons of resilience and shorter routes. But that would require a cable to other places (Africa and Europe.) They can do that any time, so long as they pay for it. See http://jl.ly/ICANN/zimmerman.html
