As we progress in the world of internet it is interesting to note how new internet/parallel internet are being created by different countries.
The guardian article quoted here explains the concept
http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/apr/23/web-censorship-net-closing-in
Pakistan has vowed to create its own internet just like Sunni web and Halal Internet.
Halal Internet is Iran's answer to providing an internet for its citizens.
At the end of the day Internet needs physical routers and servers which countries can control on their land.
The book The New Digital age keeps mentioning about this new concept of how there will be regional Internets and we may need visa to visit one from another in the future.
Even though the idea appears strange countries like North Korea, Belarus, Burma (Myanmar), Cuba, Iran, and Zimbabwe work closely for advanced technology transfer.
Peer to Peer technology is one alternative to using Internet for people in these regimes but the concept of middle man (faking and misidentifying as the recipient) is getting prevalent.
While people are mostly regional and consume news and information only local to each other the viewpoint about how political asylums may be provided in the virtual world first before giving in physical world is interesting.
From wikipedia
"Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA) is a mechanism defined in 2003 for handling internationalized domain names containing non-ASCII characters. These names either are Latin letters with diacritics (ñ, é) or are written in languages or scripts which do not use the Latin alphabet: Arabic, Hangul, Hiragana and Kanji for instance"
Next time when you type webaddress in your favorite browser don't forget that a new world of Internets and new world of Domain Name Identification is already in works for people in different parts of the world.
