Government Licensing Internet

The Internet has taken its place in our day to day activities. In fact most of the information we need are from the Internet. We do our communication by sending emails, pc to pc calling and chatting with the use of our Internet connections. There are also work that are dependent on the websites. We can now work from home with the help of our Internet connection. With the many virus and malwares that are coming up in the Internet, there should be something done to put a stop to all these. Developers of software should try to configure software that would address or prevent the spread of this malware and unsafe programming. Microsoft one the developers of software came up with a government licensing Internet proposal.


A government licensing Internet proposal was submitted by Microsoft’s security officer Scott Charney during a conference in Berlin. This proposal was submitted with the aim of protecting Internet users against malware and unsafe programming. It has been proposed that the government will have the sole authority to give Internet access to anybody.

The government licensing Internet proposal further suggested that whenever a device is detected to be a hazard to the Internet, the user be notified and the device cleaned before access to the Internet be allowed again. This proposal was further made to protect other devices from getting contaminated.

Furthermore the government licensing Internet proposal requires an individual to seek clearance and permission to use the Internet and enter the world wide websites. This proposal will give full authority to the government to monitor all Internet activities. There will be little or no privacy left for Internet users as the government will have full and sole control over the Internet. Permission to use the Internet will depend on the discretion of the government on how they would consider a device to be hazardous or not to the Internet.
