... let's start from scratch and do it right this time:

Although it has already taken nearly four decades to get this far in building the Internet, some university researchers with the federal government's blessing want to scrap all that and start over.
...
The Internet "works well in many situations but was designed for completely different assumptions," said Dipankar Raychaudhuri, a Rutgers University professor overseeing three clean-slate projects. "It's sort of a miracle that it continues to work well today."

Please... let's have the government get involved even more heavily.  I wonder why they may want to do that?  Oh... of course:

One challenge in any reconstruction, though, will be balancing the interests of various constituencies. The first time around, researchers were able to toil away in their labs quietly. Industry is playing a bigger role this time, and law enforcement is bound to make its needs for wiretapping known.

Right.  Maybe the current internet isn't such a miracle after all.  Maybe the fact that it works as well as it does is because of a lack of government intervention... not in spite of it.  If a new internet exists purely so the government can do things like this, then I don't want it:

Operators of Web sites with racy content must label their sites and register in a national directory or be fined, according to a new U.S. Senate proposal that represents the latest effort among politicians to crack down on Internet sex.
...
Web sites with "harmful to minors" content on pages that are initially viewable to visitors must use the tag to be devised by the U.S. Department of Commerce or face civil fines.  Pryor's office says the federal government would be able to "shut down" noncompliant sites, but that portion is not actually in the bill.

Because this is just what we need.  Exactly what is "harmful to minors" or "racy" isn't defined.  Vague laws using vague terms that carry harsh civil fines and possible jail time, that can be widely misinterpretted aren't exactly what the founding fathers had in mind when they wrote this.
