The Net is technically and legally a private value-added network. The last bit of the then existing backbone was privatized the weekend following the OKC bombing in April 1995. (No relation)

Yes, and there is not one law on the books preventing the government from putting in their own backbones in the future, which is exactly what they are planning on doing.
