What’s Splintered in the Splinternet ? A Multi-Layered Perspective on Internet Fragmentation

Résumé

What future for the Internet? Is the Internet threatened with explosion, or are these fears unfounded, and only good enough to serve as a "red flag" in political negotiations? Our recent work in the frame of a report for the European Parliament, then a French-language book aimed at a broad audience (Perarnaud et al., 2022; Perarnaud et al., 2024), has tackled the question of the so-called Internet "fragmentation", or, as a controversial label sums up, the "Splinternets" phenomenon. In this book, we have addressed how what was fundamentally, in its early days, a horizontal and decentralized mechanism has become a system that favours monopolies and quasi-monopolies, the concentration of resources and wealth, informational, economic and military wars. Internet "fragmentation" happens at different levels, or layers, of the network of networks.
