Religion

Description: Religion plays an important role in future's internet. Some religion, as far as we know, is powerful and intended to spread its belief,where internet could be a useful tool. Some religion, however, is weak and thus the internet will bring more value of other religion than spreading their belief. Thus those religion will block the internt. The implication is that almost everything stands by the more powerful side and the development of internet is irreversible.

[edit]Enablers:

Factors which strengthen this driving force. (these are actually other driving forces, and you can link to them in the wiki!)
1. Language.  Currently the language of the powerful religion is English, which is the world language.  

2. Economy.  Currently the countries which adopt the powerful religion is more wealthy.

3. Culture.  Currently the culture of powerful religion is surpassing that of weak religion.

[edit]Paradigms: Taxing authorities view Internet service providers as providing one or more of several taxable services: information services; data processing services; telecommunications services; advertising services; computer software; etc., which will have the significant impact on the growth of the Internet.
