I don't think the internet is over it is just losing the perceived freedom that it had in the startup era. I think this was inevitable. Governments crave two things more than anything else on the planet. Power and money, both of these can be found in abundance on the internet. Money through taxes and power by controlling the flow of information. I believe this will be a long term cat and mouse game, as governments exert more control of the internet man will keep inventing new ways of getting around those restrictions.

If the governments (particularly in the USA) continue to pursue net neutrality laws it could slow down its progress for a long time. Turning the internet into a utility is not a good idea. Take a look at your utility companies (power, water, natural gas etc), they deliver their products fairly dependably but they are exempt from competition, refuse to innovate, very high priced and their service is nonexistent. The reason Google and FB supported net neutrality is that it provided them with an unchallenged monopoly forever and it locked out new startups.

Regardless of net neutrality laws or not the internet will keep finding ways to expand and ways to get around government control and censorship.

I agree with that, it will not be over but restrictions will ramp up in the coming years for what will be the official internet. But when that time arrive internet will be more like a community thing with caches of mesh networks all over the planet, and all the people need is software and routers/repeaters, even without ISP it would work, because it is based on p2p protocol and other cool projects, after all the entire internet is a giant mesh network.

Here is a nice project implemented in many countries already https://villagetelco.org/
and here is a better explanation how this thing works http://www.thelifenetwork.org/about/

The internet won't die, we'll more likely have to kill it.......

David Bowi, in 1999 (when the Internet was using Windows 98 and a 56k dial up modem), had a very strong opinion of the Internet that only gets more relevant as the years go by.

The internet is going quantum. It's not going away. Once the Qubit chips can be stabilized, the next big technological leap will take off.

Given the fact that this interview took place 21 years ago he was really a visionary. His words have more truth as the years go on.
