Maybe I'm missing something here.
Agreed, for NBN it's different, but I don't see this being very useful as out of faction Ice.
Ruling: If trace fails TMI can be rezzed again during the same rez window.

As is the case with most barriers?
D'oh! Not sure what I was thinking when I posted that.
I originally was not inclined to like this card, but I think it's slowly growing on me. If you rez it (cost 3) and then Trace2, boost by 2 from NBN's identity, and the Runner pays 4 to defeat it, you come out ahead (well, depending on how much you value the recurring credits). If the Runner has any Link, though, it gets very uneconomical very quickly - and giving it a second shot at a rez is likewise not favorable once your identity credits are gone.
Where would it be useful? I might use it as the default ice on HQ or R&D during the first couple of turns - if the Runner takes a blind run, you either put a really big wall up in front of the Runner or cash her out of 4 credits at a cost to yourself of 3, and either way that's a favorable result early in the game.
The real question, though: is it better than Wall of Static? Not sure on that one.
2. ICE can only be rezzed when approached during a run, unless you have a special card effect (like Amazon Industrial Zone).
Wow, I missed that. If it gave a tag it would be worth it, but without? Yeah, this is kind of bad.
If you can close the runners accounts, both TMI and city surveillance become playable. They both need more support, but an NBN that shuts down the runners economy is a fantastic new deck archetype!
