<div class="">Hi,</div>
<div class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I thought that this was a really great analysis: <a href="https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/12/01/russia_own_internet/" class="">https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/12/01/russia_own_internet/</a></div>
<div class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">"Will Russia separate itself from the global internet? No, as Russia officials have repeatedly admitted even when expounding on the problems of today's internet governance. It has too much to lose and too little to gain.</div>
<div class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Will it go the Chinese route of a controlled internet within its borders and closely monitored connections to the outside? Possibly, although Russia doesn't face the same kind of existential threat that China's one-party system does – at least not
right now – so the expense and hassle is probably not worth it.</div>
<div class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">What will it do? More of this, most likely: paint the US and Europe as controlling bogeymen; push for greater governmental control over internet management; and harp on about the darker sides of society that the internet helps foster, such as terrorism,
or activities it deems morally or ethically wrong like pornography, drug taking and so on. China will do the same.</div>
<div class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">But a parallel domain name system with a separate set of root zone servers? There's virtually no point."</div>
</div>
<div class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Best wishes,</div>
<div class="">
