Cyberspace is not merely used for operation of computers but it is also used as a medium to carry out virtual transactions by personnel who work with computers. Unlike the physical world, to understand cyberspace we should take the physical characteristics of the real world and map them from a concrete to an abstract virtual world. The disputes arising out of cyberspace jurisdiction are typical in nature. Understanding the topography is very much abstract as it is difficult to define the overtaking in cyberspace and overriding principles throw us in a state of imbroglio. The need of the hour is to have cyber arbitral tribunals with jurisdiction to resolve all activities that are being carried out on the Net and the enforcement of awards and e-awards should be made through international conventions. It may be mentioned here that cyberspace sovereignty is the force through which cyber society exercises its law-making force, which is not specifically connecting a specific State sovereignty but is connected to cyberspace as a whole. Real world disputes are solved by people in the real world itself but virtual world disputes need an entirely different approach as there are variety of factors that justify the jurisdiction for electronic transactions. There is a need for legislation defining cyberspace jurisdiction to address solutions to cyber grievances.

What we call `cyberspace' can be characterized as a multitude of individual, but interconnected, electronic communications networks. Cyberspace is already a global communications medium and the subject of valid international interest.1 Cyberspace is used for commercial and non-commercial purposes. The Internet is not a physical object with a tangible existence, but is itself a set of network protocols that has been adopted by a large number of individual networks allowing the transfer of information among them. Moreover, the Internet is a medium through which a user in real space in one jurisdiction communicates with a user in real space in another jurisdiction. The world of cyberspace has no physical existence beyond the computers on which it resides but this fact does not keep it from being real because it is a world of information that have real consequences and a real existence. It is the interplay between the vast number of largely centralized individual networks and the decentralized Internet work through which they can communicate that will prove to be of fundamental importance in determining the efficacy with which State law can be imposed on individual network communities. Hence, the key feature of the Internet is that the net is setup to operate logically rather than geographically.
