Abstract

The Internet was developed mainly as a homogenous, open architecture so as to develop on its own with time. Presently, we are observing a predictable backlash to the ‘corporatization’ of the network (satellite imagery), where the tools of destruction can easily be placed in the hands of the dissatisfied or malevolent people (terrorists for our context). What needs to be understood is that there is not sufficient mechanism to counter this backlash. A system needs to be evolved which addresses the needs of national security while also giving the system a chance to flourish and develop on its own.

Keywords: internet, satellite imagery
