dmitriSun, Mar 23, 2008 Well, the infrastructure could exist through radio waves set up in a sort of mesh network. The infrastructure is bloody invincible, besides the prospect of heavy emissions of electromagnetic pulses. The only somewhat likely cause of that happening so far would be nuclear war, though, so I'm not all that worried about that because everything would be completely fucked anyways.
Maybe if we set up something to transmit the internet to a remote relay station on another celestial body? Of course, nowhere really has much protection from gamma rays and all that fun out there...
Really, though, the biggest threat is if any of the powers that be decide on trying to shape the internet to their crappy ideals of controlling everything. "Net neutrality" and all that.
I thought I read somewhere that there has been backups made of the internet but it's of course on nonlasting magnetic storage. Lasting digital storage is something that would be a challenge but it's probably one that someone needs to take up for sure.
