The Internet may fall into

The unity of the global internet network is at risk of being isolated for reasons related to language and domain control. Chances are, the internet will be divided into three major areas for the Latin, Russian and Chinese languages.

The Internet is a network of connected computers, many of which are large networks of universities and businesses . These smaller independent affiliate networks are interconnected, using the TCP protocol. / IP.

However, there are a few large interconnected networks in the world that use completely different and independent internet protocols, including a concept called Fidonet. Fidonets are often connected by telephone lines, and this is also one of the few military affiliate networks. But still, the official internet is still the only significant scale network we've ever known.

If the language and domain name issues are inconsistent, the internet may fall into a sandy state.


However, the stand of the internet is facing some problems. While popular computer language proved to be the key to internet success, another form of language has the ability to divide the internet into separate network areas.

In 2007, under pressure from Russia and China, ICANN's Data Management and International Domains finally had to approve the use of non-Latin characters in online addresses. This move has helped billions of Chinese and Russian people communicate on the internet more easily, promoting e-commerce development in these two countries.

One possibility that can easily be seen from this is that some domain names are no longer identified in the remaining affiliate networks. If the services or paths are not set to recognize the above non-Latin characters, the rest of the world cannot read and access these domains.

Things will get worse if the Chinese government decides to set up separate root domain directories, operate on separate computers and be independent of the directory that the US has previously set up. This may cause Chinese authorities to control all access to the network of the people of this country, and potentially bring power to dominate the entire network.

Tim Wu, a professor of Law and Technology from Columbia University, New York, warns: "Language change will promote ethnic disparity on the internet ." He predicts that this will lead us to face the trend of internet sharing: partly controlled by the US, partly controlled by China and the rest controlled by Russia.
