In the recent past, I've read articles about just how vunerable the entire internet would be to attack. By terroists or others.
Blow up a few "backbone" centers, and the entire 'net could crash for an extended period of time. Given the amount of world commerce & communications that occur across the internet these days -- that's a potential catastrophe just waiting to happen.
What to do about such a threat? Surround each backbone hub center with its own small army for protection, I suppose. Uh-huh.........
Perhaps simply build a lot of back-up hubs -- just in case. The only problem with that plan is that it would cost lots of money to implement. But it might be preferable to the alternative.
