Up until July of 2012, there was a company called Moxy Vote which was a web based platform designed to facilitate proxy voting for individual investors.
Brossel says that proxy servers, which allow Web users to access blocked sites by re-routing traffic through another country, are still impossible to use.
He wasn't happy that the deal didn't happen, so he assembled a proxy board in the spring to unseat the Web portal's current directors and hash out a deal with Microsoft.
In a patent app made public this month, RIM's lab geeks describe setting up a proxy server right on the phone that would intercept the browser's web requests and bundle, compress, and send them to a gateway on the other end (BIS, we presume) that would know how to deal with the packet.
