This paper examines internet infrastructure from 1965 to 1984, attentive to Canada’s rejection of both cooperation with the United States in developing its internet and Baran’s recommendation for a distributed network on the grounds of concern not of nuclear survivability, but of internal threats: “civil unrest, sabotage and subversion” (CAF 1985).	cache/spir-11941.pdf	txt/spir-11941.txt
