   My question then would be, what do you suppose they use?  Since at some point   
   somewhere, you are more than likely going to end up on a commercial internet   
   backbone.  So regardless of what government specific app you use.  The data is   
   being routed through public IP space.   Not like the old days where you had   
   dedicated copper circuits.   
      
   That more and more government applications services are leaving ON PREM space   
   and going into the cloud.
