What do you think is preventing it?

If your response to cross border issues I bring up is to advice cutting 
back to an Internet (or Internets) that fits jurisdictional boundaries, 
it is indeed an internally coherent solution. However, I still think 
that it is possible to preserve a global Internet if we can muster 
enough political  will and courage to develop the necessary global 
political system.
