Believable, but sad.   If it comes true, the Internet will devolve into 
a set of competing silos, much like other computing/applications have 
been doing.   Perhaps it already has. The original vision of The 
Internet as a global community of computers of any type, communicating 
using networks of any technology, will have proven unattainable.   
Perhaps we are seeing the end of  the Internet Experiment.
