「釋義」

碎片網(wǎng)絡(luò)指網(wǎng)絡(luò)世界因某些要素被分裂成不同的群體。這些因素可能包含科技、商業(yè)、政治、民族主義、宗教，以及利益因素。

碎片網(wǎng)絡(luò)導(dǎo)致各種標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的出現(xiàn)，有時(shí)不同標(biāo)準(zhǔn)互不兼容，使得搜索引擎無法正常使用數(shù)據(jù)信息，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)作為一個(gè)全球網(wǎng)絡(luò)的地位面臨著日益嚴(yán)重的威脅。

「應(yīng)用場(chǎng)景」

近年來，企業(yè)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)層正確地優(yōu)先考慮了網(wǎng)絡(luò)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)、技術(shù)過時(shí)的威脅以及自動(dòng)化程度提高引起的無業(yè)下層階級(jí)的增加。然而，現(xiàn)在人們?cè)絹碓綋?dān)心的是新出現(xiàn)的“碎片網(wǎng)絡(luò)”——因平臺(tái)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)而日漸支離破碎的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)。

In recent years corporate leadership has rightly prioritized cyber risks, the threat of technological obsolescence, and the rise of the jobless underclass stemming from increased automation. However, there are now mounting concerns about the emerging “splinternet” — an increasingly fragmented internet with competing platforms.

這種技術(shù)碎片化會(huì)破壞全球供應(yīng)鏈——全球供應(yīng)鏈?zhǔn)谷蚱髽I(yè)能夠在生產(chǎn)過程的每一個(gè)階段選擇最具成本效益的解決方案，從而獲得競(jìng)爭(zhēng)優(yōu)勢(shì)。脫離這種集中采購的做法會(huì)增加共享全球服務(wù)的成本，降低它的效率增益。

Such a technological fragmentation would disrupt global supply chains — which enable global corporations to gain a competitive edge by selecting the most cost-effective solution at each stage of the production process. And the move away from such centralized procurement raises the costs of and reduces the efficiency gains from shared global services.

此外，分裂的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)一定會(huì)增加企業(yè)運(yùn)營的復(fù)雜性，這會(huì)削弱企業(yè)對(duì)市場(chǎng)力量進(jìn)行快速響應(yīng)的能力。在這樣的世界里，企業(yè)需要在陣營之間做出選擇，或者承受在兩個(gè)敵對(duì)技術(shù)世界里運(yùn)營的成本，每個(gè)世界都有它們自己的監(jiān)管和運(yùn)營標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。

Furthermore, a balkanized internet promises to increase the complexity of a company’s operations, which erodes a corporation’s ability to respond quickly to market forces. In such a world, companies will need to choose between the U.S. and China camps or bear the costs of operating in two adversarial technological worlds, each with their own regulatory and operating standards.
