I think in the next 5-10 years, the notion of a free, worldwide internet goes away. The current powers are realizing that the Internet is far too powerful a tool to let it be free. I think China showed the benefits of government control - suppression of dissent and making people who tow the government line rich. Tunisia demonstrated the danger of the government not controlling the Internet, and Russia demonstrated with Donald Trump that the Internet and especially social media is a great way to cause chaos at the highest levels of leadership even of a super power. You can be sure that everybody who has any kind of power has been observing and learning.
