Fragmentation of the Internet
the Internet has begun to break up into national segments. Until recently this only really applied to the Great Firewall of China. But the People’s Republic is no longer alone in its efforts to separate and manage their own Internet resources. Several countries, including Russia, have adopted or are planning to adopt legislation prohibiting the use of foreign services. Snowden’s revelations have intensified the demand for these rules. In November, Germany announced that all communications between the German authorities would be fully locked within the country. Brazil has announced its plans to build an alternative Internet channel so as not to use the one that goes through Florida (USA).

The World Wide Web has begun to break up into pieces. Individual countries are no longer willing to let a single byte of information out of their networks. These aspirations will grow ever stronger and legislative restrictions will inevitably transform into technical prohibitions. The next step will most likely be attempts to limit foreign access to data inside a country.

As this trend develops further it will soon lead to the collapse of the current Internet, which will break into dozens of national networks. It is possible that some of them will prove unable to communicate with each other at all. The shadowy Darknet will be the only truly world-wide web.
