Abstract :
We have proposed that history teaches us that we require a nationally(governmentally-) secured telecommunications network, preferably even one which includes most of the burgeoning wireless industry because of its likely increased use of digitization (and, therefore, facile computerization). A fundamentally intrinsic part of this network must be an enhanced electronic postmark. We feel confident that our proposal for a governmentally secured telecommunications network with its enhanced electronic postmark should alleviate all but the most extreme sorts of needs for privacy (such as that required by criminals and/or the treasonous to conduct their misdeeds). A major goal of the paper is to provide the standard(s) by which we can, as ´standard operating procedure´, expect the security of all information transmitted on the information superhighway to be assured under penalty of law, yet in a manner which will not require or permit governmental censorship of content. We address two primary concerns of telephonic and television transmissions: their integrity and the moral character of their content.
