Sorry Bubba, but like firearms, nuclear weapons and oral sex, the
genie is out of the bottle. Even after a Collapse..the Net will be one
of the first things to become reimplimented. In one fashion or
another.

If you only had a clue as to what you were talking about you would be
classed a bit higher than "Moroon". In an American Collapse Senerio,
the Internet would far down the list of things rebuilt.

First, Power would need to be available coutry wide and in mostly the
"Big Cities" for the Routers that make the Internet work ti operate.
Second, more than 75% of the links are FiberOptic these days and the
MUltiplexers and Switches would also have to have power, which isn't
going to be around country wide after a collapse. same with the cable-Tv
and DSL/Phone systems. Just who is going to run the Dams & Nuke Plants
to provide all this power nation wide?

another bainless thought.
