[governance] Montevideo Statement on the Future of Internet Cooperation

[Adam Peake]

Hi John,

I would like to understand the part "Internet fragmentation" when it's included in the same paragraph as the sentence about "monitoring and surveillance".  

Internet fragmentation is bad.  Monitoring and surveillance is bad.  Think that's clear.  

But, by including the two statements in the same paragraph, rather than as separate, are the organizations suggesting that recent proposals to build new infrastructure that avoids sending traffic via the U.S. and avoids U.S. monitoring and surveillance risks Internet fragmentation?

Asking because that was the U.S. spin in response to proposals for such new infrastructure; FUD that new submarine cables would cause balkanization (which they would not of course). 

Thanks,

Adam

(FUD: fear, uncertainty and doubt, usually evoked intentionally in order to put a competitor at a disadvantage.)
