In recent years, courts have been faced with an increasing number of cases with challenging jurisdictional elements. The question of jurisdiction of the Internet highlights one of the central dilemmas associated with Internet governance: How is it possible to ‘anchor’ the Internet within existing legal and political geographies? Jurisdiction depends predominantly on the geographical division of the world into national territories, while the Internet facilitates considerable cross-border exchange, which is difficult (although not impossible) to monitor via traditional government mechanisms. However, the relationship between jurisdiction and the Internet has been ambiguous, because the Internet is global. Each country has the right to exercise jurisdiction over its citizens, territory, and subject matter.
