Internet Way of Networking – Internet Society

The actions we take in the coming years will shape the Internet for good or for bad. We must make sure policy and technology developments support the Internet way of networking—what the Internet needs in order to remain a global resource for everyone.

Their choices could lead to a splinternet, where the Internet fragments into many isolated networks controlled by policymakers and corporations. If we don’t protect the Internet from these bad decisions, which are often politically motivated, it could undermine the value of the Internet for us all.

Our Internet Impact Assessment Toolkit is a practical tool to help policymakers and Internet champions protect the Internet from this worse-case scenario.
