[ih] Snapshot of the Internet

[Karl Auerbach]

That's quite a map!!  Reminds me of the social clustering  maps I did at 
UCLA. and Berkeley.

I wonder what that map might say about the notion of governance of the 
internet based on various kinds of "territory", whether those be 
national, institutional (e.g. the "nation" of Google+Youtube), protocol 
(IPv4 and IPv6  - which could be interesting if the substrate, such as 
5G were included), etc?

The thought that crossed my mind was how we once divided law and 
authority (at least in Europe) based on whether the matter or the people 
involved  were secular or religious.  Could the Internet be moving in a 
similar direction?
