To me, this is another example of the "splinternet" phenomenon where the Internet is, in some ways, moving to become less of a universal resource and more regional in nature. It's a shame, as a lot of benefit has been derived from having globally available information exchange, but it seems the trend is for regions or nation states to want more control over Internet based resources, as they become more important to the operation of those countries.
