I think it is very easy to control the internet.
Just make a law that will restrict providers and / or let them filter ip addresses / domain names and filter on word etc. etc.
And voila. the door is shut.
Then only free internet for a happy few who are able to set up there own illegal internet junction to the big backbones.
All regular consumers bite the dust since they can only connect to legal ISP's

Im not saying it will happen but it is easy enough.
