What if we had lots of such parallel "internets" that are all accessible from around the world. That lets the user choose which "internet" to connect to.
Something that can reduce the ICANN and the US control over the current network. After all, competition is always good.
We now have such underground networks that is piggybacking on the existing internet.
- jakeonthemove 14y agoBut you're pretty much describing the Internet as it is now :-)... Each country having their own Internet separate from the rest of the world is counter-productive - I remember Russia wanted to introduce their own domain names in cyrillic and create some sort of Russian-only net a decade ago - the idea wasn't very popular with the people...
- kiiski 14y agoIf all the internets are accessible from anywhere, what exactly is the difference to the current situation? Each country already has its own infrastructure, which forms their own net, and is connected to the real internet. So is it really just separate IP/domain "namespaces" that you want?
