It was not just data transmission but was actually the birth of a Digital Universe, that we call today as the Cyberspace.

  3. Vital Part of the Cyberspace The major and vital part of this digital population constitutes Infrastructure that is so critical that its incapacitation or sabotage has a direct impact on National, regional and global security. SPACE LAND AIR SEA 1 2 3 4
