Amsterdam - Home of Truly Free Unrestricted Internet - Google Foiled
Amsterdam has the world's busiest Internet exchange, thanks to nuclear physicists and mathematicians who in the 1980s connected their network needs with the academic belief that knowledge needs to be free. The Amsterdam Internet Exchange is a reminder that the Internet was built on the principle of the unrestricted exchange of ideas and information.
The popularity of the AMS-IX. the official name of the exchange, is because ISPs can do business any way they like.
"'Anything goes unless it's forbidden', was our motto from the beginning. We added a few rules later on, but any unnecessary organizing is being prevented," said Rob Blokzijl from Nikhef, the National Institute for Nuclear Physics and High Energy Physics in the Netherlands.
Anthing goes unless it's forbidden?
Who is Google? doh!
