Yes.
But it would take a very large coordinated effort. It would also take quite a bit of money.
Right now there is no group in the World with enough motivation, people and money to actually do it.
But...
The DOD and several special Universities are constantly working on a defense and run several attack drills every year.

I think it was possible, didnt u see? I even went to other countries, France, Italy, Germany had the same problem, no one had yahoo messenger nor the chat rooms for that matter.
MSN was working, since i have both. but myspace was out too.
Tomorrow we will know what happened in the news.

no, the internet is a connection of disparate networks. their are 13 root servers for Domain names, even if you were to take down all 13 of these, which are located in different geographic regions of the world, you could still connect to other networks via the 'internet' with IP addresses, just not with domain names, like, 'yahoo.com'.

Very unlikely. The internet is not base in one central location. It is based on numerous servers all around the world.

World wide? Doubtful. Millions of people use different companies on different servers. There'd have to be some world wide catastrophe.
