Jurisdictional issues would have to be one of the biggest hurdles facing internet regulation today. Given that the internet is accessible on a global scale, the current model of each country individually regulating the internet within its own borders provides little certainty for international companies and consumers.

While cases such as Heriot v Byrne and Gutnick illustrate the need for international cooperation regarding internet laws, the reality is that currently any global approach is not foreseeable.
