Dilbert,

"Other nations won't be happy with that and come up with a newer, and likely better/faster/more secure internet. "

Yeah?
Why haven't they,then?
More to the point, if they could, why didn't they invent the internet themselves?
Most advances in internet technology today, still come from the US.
After all we own Cisco AND Juniper,the biggest makers of internet routers on the planet.

Dilbert :"Aren't you scared that the US then could becomes isolated from that information source?"

Most of the world's top internet portal, top internet businesses and sources of information are American, like Yahoo, Msn, Microsoft.com, Amazon, Ebay, Google, etc etc..

It's not America you gotta worry about getting cut off from from information sources, its the rest of the world you gotta worry about them losing access to the best business and sources on the internet.
