[governance] Fwd: [At-Large] The Internet as we know it is dead

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

Governance of internet routing depends on business agreements between ISPs

Only rarely is it mandated by law to keep local traffic local - china and some other countries do it, either for filtering / lawful intercept / prevention of foreign lawful intercept, or to force ISPs to save itnernational bandwidth when a dominant player in the industry doesnt want to peer.

So there's no politics here beyond the usual backbiting - and the rest is as mctim says.
