The foresight that caused initial digital designers to choose a packet-switched network was because they created, pondered, and tested it to make a network system that would allow multiple users to connect to each other. Now instead of one to one connections that would be inefficient and possibly slow.
I think the internet would be non-existent or be very slow today if companies’ network protocols were still competing for adoption for the internet, instead of TCP being the de facto standard. Companies could buy out other companies to destroy their version of the internet. Companies could make you pay a price for their internet and slow it down for you to pay a premium for them. It would also be difficult to connect with other people because your internet might not be compatible with the other network your trying to connect.
