Oh for those that missed it in the news-
The head of the internet group, ICANN, has recently warned of the real chance that the internet could go down for much longer than just hours.
Also Russia has installed infrastructure to isolate their country from the web while keeping all their own sites active in country. I believe they are the only country that has that capability. Many countries have an internet shut off switch but that just shuts off their own country completely.
The news is always full of story ideas.
