More than 100 countries are linked into exchanges of
data, news and opinions. Unlike online services, which
are centrally controlled, the Internet is decentralized by
design. Each Internet computer, called a host, is

services to use and which local services to make
available to the global Internet community.
Remarkably, this anarchy by design works exceedingly
well.
