Depending on your defination of "Internet",this would probably take as
many as 50 years to come into effect.
Looking at the history of the Internet, you will see that it wasnt meant
to be this big. So if a few universities and companies
can form their own network, as long as they are able to access the data
that they want, they will have their own "Internet".
Take a look at Internet2. The model they use can apply as long as the
number of hosts on the network is small but
if you want to migrate over a million hosts to another network, you have
to be ready to spend some time AND money
making things work.

Just out of curiousity, if push did come to shove, how difficult (or

Quite difficult I think. All resolvers and dns servers come with a list of the
names and ip addresses of the root servers in their configuration. Imagine
having to change this information in so many places. Even now, there are so
many admins who barely understand how the dns works.
