That was my first impression, especially after the Wired link above lasted less than 15 min on reddit, and the nytimes followed suit soon after with its own ignominious spike. Pre-internet history, though, is littered with balkanized also rans. Some other nation will launch it's own network protocols built better from the ground up - I'm betting China - and the center will not hold.

Not sure it matters anymore who won the last arms race or who'll win the next one. Either sovereign nation states are doomed or each one will seek to control its own destiny.
