I do believe that Govs. need to get really into the process before ruling (first understand, then learn and participate). Instead, they might be seeing just the top of the iceberg and not the foundation or supporting structure.

(same history led from DARPANET to INTERNET no so long ago...).

However, there is not new material here except the last few paragraphs, and so it has benefited from your comments over the last couple of years.
