Interesting idea: Can there be multiple "Internets"?
Wouldn't they just be networks, then? There can only be one Internet, because of the definition of Internet!
"The global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized communication protocols"
A critical one, with infrastructure and balkanisation and an off-switch for each region, a commercial one for people to do their online shopping and banking and whatever and an utopian one where information is free and the past still alive. Maybe the third one should be more hidden. (Just one proposed division.)
Of course there are several problem here, like how to deal with government censorship. I just think we should be open and proactive about changing the basic infastructure so we can keep the cool and still be safe even with all the cyber going on.
add: Sorry for throwaway, using a public airport computer in the middle east, don't need it connected to my account.
