Drive By: Cerf: Turning off pieces of the Internet ‘not sensible’ as security strategy

From InfoWorld:

But the idea that the president would turn off pieces of the Internet is not sensible. On the other hand, focusing attention on the need to make the network more robust, more reliable, more resistant to various forms of either attack or infection is a really good thing to be attentive to. So to the degree that legislation draws attention to the things that we should be doing to protect this resource, it’s a good thing. I don’t think the president should try to turn off the Internet, and I don’t think that he has any interest in trying to do that.
