So what did they do about their own networks before implimenting this new law?
Did they realise the implication it would have towards comupter networks when they made it?
At least with IPV6 there are enough addresses to cope with the change. Do they not realise that it undermines their own government security though?

That can't be right, companies (mine included) require a VPN to do business.

Actually... that's the correct law.
It just demonstrates how woefully out of touch and old-fashioned our lawmakers are. They haven't a clue what any of this means.
