Colonial Internet
The World Wide Web, the Net, Cyberspace, and Information Super-Highway all loose terms for the most significant technological advancement since the ATM card. No longer just a phone number from the yellow pages, business must provide a web address.
What would the Colonial internet be called, how would web address be named, how would their version of the internet differ from ours?

They'd probably use some type of casual name for it like 'the net'. Regarding the differences, I don't think that there would be many since there are some universal constants -- communications; reference information -- encyclopedic, books, etc; and relaxation - games, etc.
The differences may be with access which I think would be limited to the military, Quorum, and the 'elite' and would probably have a higher level of security clearance needed like fingerprint or retina scan access.
