I don't know if anyone remembers this detail of the book Ender's Game, but this is exactly how their "internet" was setup.

Trusted networks where you had to identify yourself, and public networks where you could be anonymous.

When I first read it, it really impacted me and I knew this is the likely future of our internet.

Wasn't that the present of the internet back in 1985? Private networks where you were an authenticated user, and public BBSes or USENET where you could be anonymous?
