1. Internet - Global, all connected online system that almost the whole world uses in otl. Extremely efficient, lot's of perks, but hard to regulate and control.
2. Intranet - A online system completely closed off and separated from the global Internet. North Korea uses this as well as a couple other countries. Inefficient compared to the Internet, but easier to regulate and secure.
3. Although the Soviet Union did survive into the beginning of the computer age, it did not live long enough to truly experience the Internet or provide a online system for the people of the Soviet Union.
My question is, had the Soviet Union survived into the 20th century, would they have the Internet for their people, or would they have been like North Korea and have a intranet? If it had gone the route of developing a intranet, would it have been successful or extremely limited and undeveloped like North Korea's intranet system? Or would the Soviet Union be like China today and just have the Internet but create a giant firewall that regulates the flow of information?
