The point we were making was not about state sovereignty, but about the impact of losing access to the Internet. Any successful effort to cut a territory off from the Internet would have the same impact, even if taken by a private party or accomplished by unsanctioned force.
Hi Alissa,
I sent a question about a blog post on 9 January [1]. There wasn't any reply to that question. Is it appropriate to send unsolicited questions or comments about IETF blog articles?
Sorry, I missed the question, which I believe to be this:
There are better analogies for "closing the road-communication". e.g.
the telephone system. Isn't the matter about state sovereignty?
As people build their lives and livelihoods on the Internet, the
ability to withdraw a country or specific territories from it begins to parallel the impact of closing the roads–communication, commerce, and relief are all disrupted.
regards,
Ted
