Does the internet have a gatekeeper?

Trying to figure out who runs the internet is like trying to decipher who gave the monkeys permission to run the zoo.

‘Just who exactly controls the internet?’ It’s a question that’s been on everyone’s minds since the dawn of the digital age. Some people think that it’s the Internet Service Providers (ISP), but come on, they’re just glorified tech support with a knack for overcharging. In Nepal, we have ISPs like WorldLink, ClassicTech, Vianet, and more. If WorldLink suddenly decides to pack up and stop providing the internet, we won’t be left in the dark ages because other ISPs will swoop in to save the day. This means that ISPs are not really the head of the internet. The real power doesn’t really lie with the government either. Sure, they may be able to censor a few sites and delete the occasional Facebook post, but they’re too busy arguing about tax reform to worry about controlling the entire internet.
