I don't clearly see the difference! When the US government decide to
seize domain names is that pipe or internet? When Chinese government
decide to have its own dns hierarchy I guess to better control what is
publish, is that pipe or internet?

My question was not about technical issues only. There are a range of
issue from the different layers that constitute our today's internet:
- - political issues,
- - governance issues,
- - prices and business model (at network operators level particularly,
but not only),
- - intellectual property,
- - free speech and human rights,
- - etc

We are getting more internet dependant and we need to discuss on how
Africa can get most of this.
