This model could only lead to <i>control</i> at a local level, and could lead to directives on what the local network is <i>permitted</i> to place on the internet and what the local network is <i>permitted</i> to access. Such control would not only be introduced at the local community level, but the local communities would be geographically cluster into National Networks, severely subject to National Laws, and each National Network would decide what to allow and what to disallow. It would not be Internet then.</div>
