Internet Fragmentation: An Overview

Dear friends for a free InterNet.

The USA government, one of the largest global organizations for the 
organization of unfreedom and slavery, is now publishing a documentary 
to the "Future of the Internet". There the goat makes itself the gardener.

First of all, let me make it clear: There is no Internet on this planet. 
The name comes from the definition: The Inter-connection of local 
Net-works. A telecommunication system without local networks can never 
create an Internet. We can call it InterStarSystem or something similar.

In 2016 W.J.Drake, V.G.Cerf and W.Kleinwächter wrote a report for the 
WEF: "Internet Fragmentation: An Overview". Already in the first part 
there is a clear conceptualization for free telecommunication.

1 The Nature of Internet Fragmentation:

"From a technical standpoint, the original shared vision guiding the 
Internet's development was that every device on the Internet should be 
able to exchange data packets with any other device that was willing to 
receive them."

This leads to the statement that the users of this system define the 
requirements and the intermediaries of the transport can again only be 
the users of it. And because the users live in local communities, only 
they can be the intermediaries. Thus the local networks become the 
constituting elements of an InterNet.

We also sometimes speak of the "net of nets". In the singular is the net 
of connections, in the plural are the local networks.

And what demands do the users place on this system:
Free access to free knowledge and free communication.

And how can we realize this:
Only by allowing access regardless of social situation and geographical 
position. With this it becomes clear that every house on this planet 
needs a free access to this communication system, if the people who live 
or work there want this access.

Telecommunication in the form of an InterNet, a transport system for 
digital data in packet form, has absolutely nothing to do with private 
business interests, with state control interests or other nebulous 
postulations. Thus 98% of this statement are completely without substance.

This declaration is primarily about private business interests and state 
control spheres, which are then supposed to ensure that only a few 
statements about reality are allowed.

The Internet is a form of telecommunications for democratic 
self-organization because it strictly applies the basic principle of 
popular sovereignty. In each region the population is always the 
political sovereign and this lives distributed in the local living 
communities, the municipalities. Thus, the municipalities are the bodies 
of the political sovereign.

This principle finds its application in the local networks, which are 
the constituent elements of an InterNet and which connect with their 
neighboring communities. This principle of construction is also found in 
the roads and streets that connect the communities, small or large.

I am speaking here only about construction principles and not about 
their technical realization. It is a question for us whether the 
technical systems used today with their underlying technology are 
suitable for it.

So acts also this explanation of the government of the USA. They speak 
only about the telecommunication system and their expectations and not 
about their realization.

In conclusion, this statement is not worth the printed paper or the 
number of bits over which it is distributed.
