Should Government REagulate the Internet ?

The incompatibility of digital technologies with the very idea of government sovereignty was a preoccupation, most often expressed in terms of the decline of the nation state and the emergence of new post-territorial forms of global governance, that overlapped the work of globalization and internet regulation scholars in the late 1990s and early 21st century (Gestel,2004).
