I've heard about them doing this for the past 5 or 6 years and they still haven't made steps towards censoring or controlling the internet, leading me to believe it's absolute BS. As for the legal action taken by Congress recently, they aren't just running around censoring websites, they're going after websites that allow for pirating.
Also, when actually reading about Internet2 one will realize that they're not forcing its use upon all of America. It's simply a very fast high bandwidth broadband connection allowing for over 100Gb/s, which is helpful for educational facilities and many other organizations that are already using it. Internet2 is basically a network of optical connections allowing for extremely fast download/upload speeds in order to cut down on "waiting times" if you will. It's already being used, and it's not like they're forcing people to switch to Internet2. Basically, it's an education and research project. You guys are getting worried over nothing. And I know someone is going to say "That's what they WANT you to think." Well, this thing has been around for the past 4 years and they still haven't implemented it? Why not? If it's working already, why wouldn't they switch over to it?
OH! And the part about anonymity while surfing the net? You obviously don't know how IPs work. The government and everyone else can already know who you are through looking at your IP and matching up your location with your ISP and a ton of other data that your computer sends out while you are browsing around the net.
