This is pretty much against the lore (though I will admit I am not as familiar with the RED version as I am the 2020 version of the TTRPG). Pre-2023, sure a Netrunner could be half-way around the world. However, this presented issues with party coherence for an RP session. The runner would never have to go anywhere with the rest of the group, forcing a GM into running two separate games pretty much. In RED, they may have restored an international internet function, though that would run the same risks, but as I said I am not as familiar with the lore of RED.I totally agree with the netrunning part. Elite netrunners are supposed to be able to fry your brain from half way around the world and you can see that in the Corpo path when the whole EU space council gets taken out.
Then came Rache Bartmoss. He crashes the internet with his release of daemons, well with his death anyway (a failsafe, and I am not sure there would be a body, if I recall right, I think they used an orbital mass driver on his location-they did not want him dead, they wanted him erased). At this point the Corps had to remake things and everything became localized, there was no sharing of data across an international internet, everything was kept on local internal nets. The 'runner now needed to actually go on location to hack into a net. My belief is that Talsorian did this to keep a party together when doing jobs, now the 'runner had to be there and take risks.
