Seven Keyholders to the Internet

Did you know that the fate of the internet rests in the hands of seven individuals dispersed around the globe? Well it’s a fact and not a well known one for sure. In the event of a cataclysmic event that disrupts the internet, they are the ones that gather to restart it. In the event of a terrorist or other attack on the Internet, the key holders will be flown to an undisclosed location in the USA. Each key contains a fragment. If at least five are united, they will form a master key that can restore the Internet.

The keyholders come from USA, Canada, Britain, Burkina Faso, Trinidad and Tobago, China, and the Czech Republic.
