  • All hypothetical of course. Not convinced things will go that far without some more clear indicators.

    The root servers are already spread over the globe. Enough of them are operated by non US orgs too to handle things initially, I suspect that the localised anycast servers located outside the US for those USA based operators would probably go on serving.

    It’d be trivial to replace them anyway, and frankly we traffic would be much lower anyway since a lot of the Internet is run by us based organisations.

    For domain registration on tlds not run by the us, they should continue to operate fine.








  • Why? Because you can. But in terms of useful reasons?

    Cellphones, Internet they need infrastructure to work, and that can be disabled either during a natural disaster or war situation. Even by your own government in some cases.

    But if I want to communicate, I just need a piece of wire, somewhere to hang it, and a 12v battery and I can communicate for thousands of miles.

    Personally I just think that’s cool.
