Limited service websites
Have you ever been denied access to a seemingly innocuous website on account of your nationality. I am not talking about NASA or Pentagon websites, but about www.komando.com. I got the shock of my netlife to get this message .

This is quite an interesting tactic. Is this the beginning of a trend where public websites also will be limited service, only within certain nations. Why make your content available to customers whom you do not wish to serve? Limit the hits, have focus and save the load on your server and also save on band width. Screen visitors out by their IPs. Or have a Visa system to allow selected users. Internet also need to be territorially organized. As it is in real world, so it in virtual world.When the cyber security threats from some nations increase exponentially may be this is the only way to go. There are stories floating about hacker breeding academies and tomorrow's war being on the servers. Why take a chance let us have territorial bounds to internet with Bot Security Forces manning access.
IP tracking offers tremendous possibilities. You can deny access, show different content to different visitors. May be have pages load faster for visitors from Europe while Asians can wait . May be the concept of net neutrality has to be seen not only from the point of view of carrier, but also the content provider.
Anonymous browsing software and services are a rage in countries like China where the Government prevents the user from visiting certain websites. If such websites increase may be you need a reverse anonymizing service .
