Keith,
Oh, where to start? Depending on which axe you wish to grind ....
- Lack of security against criminal hacking, DDOS, etc. (although much of the blame can be spread to the end systems as well)
- Spam in all of its incarnations, including SIP-based robocalls
- Unintended side-effects of social networking and Youtube echo chambers
- Lack of real end-to-end QoS (if you're a backbone provider looking to monetize your investment)
- Traffic growing faster than revenues (again, if you're a backbone provider looking to monetize your investment)
- The death of the end-to-end principle due to NATs, other middleboxes, CDNs, etc.
The list goes on ....
Cheers,
Andy

I wonder if we polled a large number of experts in various aspects of
operating or using the Internet, and asked them "What's the Internet's
biggest flaw?", how many different answers we'd get.
(Note: IETF list is certainly not a representative sample. And IMO
there's not a single "right" answer to this question anyway. But I'm
curious about how broad the spectrum is.)
