[governance] National network/ Individual rights to privacy and freedom of expression

[Nnenna]

Dear all

Been following on the two last trends.  Just a quick question here:  Is Russia on the way to creating a National Network as a parallel one or another as REPLACEMENT to the www on  a national level?

If it is a parallel, will Russians be allowed to choose either to go national or universal?  If it leans on a replacement, what other options will there be for individuals, communities who would want an OPEN MODEL on a universal level?

Just wondering..  because the ''American factor'' is not only a Russian thing...

No, that is not what I am saying at all. I am saying that when closed
 counties start to open up or release information a cottage industry
 develops around gathering and interpreting the scraps of information that
 come out.
