Hello.
I'm a regular internet user. 

I don't think fast flux technology should be banned, or any other technology 
for that matter. 

Balance: I do think things need a fair balance between privacy, freedom, etc at 
one end and public safety and regulation at the other. Striking this fair 
balance may prove difficult. 

Root cause: Please do consider the root cause(s) of the problem you are trying 
to fix. Un-patched computers connected to the internet. Criminal behavior. 
These are two of the main causes, as I understand, however one remains 
un-changeable, there will always be criminals.

Solutions: Well there may be many. I'm sure you will look at banning the ip of 
infected pc's, or following a similar path to what the RIAA has apparently 
chosen and put some of the responsibility of internet control back to the ISP 
level. A second solution may be along the lines of some countries gun control 
by having a time delay between registrations and activation, however in the 
case of the fast evolving internet this time delay could be reduced by 
registering in person and providing photo ID and biometric data. A different 
solution may include forced updates where the end user is not asked (but is 
notified) and a security patch is applied, details would need to be included in 
the software licensing clause of course. 

I don't think any technology should be banned. It should be cared for, 
nurtured, carefully regulated, allowed to grow and develop. 

Thanks for reading. I hope you are having a great day.
Cheers,
Ed.
