Can they pull off a global network and transfer the entire system piece by piece, maybe.
They don't need to transfer the entire current system over.They don't need to copy the design of that infrastructure at all. Currently it's designed in a way that certain NGOs have control of certain parts of it that interlock to create a system that allows this group of NGOs to control all aspects of it, not just the hardware/software, but the storage space, data hubs and other traffic flow routes like cell towers, etc. By replacing all that with new space-based technologies, people can interface both the old and new systems at the same time, and as the old system crumbles, the new system will be expanded to take up the slack while providing the sort of services we were promised early on but never got or were slowly taken away.
You would need to travel through worm holes like they describe in project PEGASUS etc. Like the Stargate TV show.
I wouldn't put too much belief in what TV shows depict as science. They take cutting edge theories and ideas and make them seem possible with a lot of illusion and imagination.
For now its the old fashioned way, undersea cables and such. Everything is so drip, drip, drip we are years away from anything. Tesla told us 100 years ago about whats possible
Tesla based his ideas on what little was known about electricity during his time, and he was wrong about certain things. Fiber-optic cables send data across the ocean at near light speed, not drip drip drip. We don't really need ant more speed as end users anyway. The extra speed is useful within the main data servers that have to sort, catalog, search, and retrieve data as it flows through the system. Using space-based technologies, superconductors that require zero kelvin temperatures for faster data handling, solar energy power supplies, lasers, etc. can be used to replace the old system with better functionality.
In reality your going to need to destroy most hardware/software and rebuild from the ground up globally. That goes for most things. Its not hard really. You cannot allow an Apple, Microsoft, any DARPA based program to continue based on its evil roots.
You don't need to destroy anything right away, but improvements can be made in the hardware architecture and software programming over time, when and where necessary. DARPA owns the patents on many of the components, as do Microsoft and Apple, but DARPA is government and Microsoft and Apple may just lose everything through seizures before this is all over. It will go into the hands of a government that's serving the people and not the other way around.
