    I’m pretty sure internet means internetwork, as in between networks. There’s also intranets, which are limited access web networks.

    You are right that geoblocking really shouldn’t be a thing, it’s existence is thanks to varying laws and regulations, and most annoyingly, IP distribution contracts.

      Yes you’re right. I’m one of the operators of network AS559 and we have loads of interconnections to other networks, a supermajority of those is within our small nation. The international ones do make for a lot of traffic though :-)
