Right, I’ve nommed my seven recipients for each of the 7 Keys To Restart The Internet In The Event Of A Catastrophic Failure. They are:
1. Richard Desmond. Because with his recent purchase of Five he’s really shown that he understands the high quality of service and content that a truly global medium demands. Also, I’m not sure there’s really enough boobs on the internet yet.
2. Ling of Ling’s Cars. Because she already has most of the Internet right there on her page.
3. Double Rainbow guy. Because the Internet, like a double rainbow right the way across the sky, is a beautiful thing.
4. Rupert Murdoch. Because he’ll do the internet properly this time. Delivered to your door daily by ‘internet-boys’ on bikes.
5. A randomly selected Mayor or badge-holder. Because that’s the responsibility that comes with being a pillar of the community or badge hobbyist, right? And by community I mean cliquey braggadocio service and self-selecting marketing database. But remember — no deputy mayors.
6. A HOT SPY. Because the key holders need to convene in a secret location, and you can’t have a secret location without spy, so you might as well get a HOT one.
7. Whoever has the highest Hot Or Not score. Because someone HOT should be able to restart the Internet, and Vint Cerf is NOT HOT.
I shall be sending these names to ICANN forthwith, and hopefully they will soon be installed either as replacements for the already-nominated 7 or at the very least as substitutes for them in the event of international travel problems following a large scale war or terrorist attack.
