The unfortunate fact is that with the rise of more hacking groups and their attacks on corporations/governments/etc, the continued problems with home grown extremists using the net and the eventual realization by people in power that disruptions can cause serious economic issues, it's probably a matter of time before other countries start getting in line to do the same thing.
Wild lands are wild until someone figures out a reason why they should tame it, then order is enforced by whatever means are deemed necessary. A sad fact, to be sure, but something that could be frighteningly inevitable.
