U.S. Insists On Keeping Control Of Internet
veggie boy writes "A U.S. official strongly objected to any notion of a U.N. body taking control of the domain servers that direct traffic on the Internet." From the article: "'We will not agree to the U.N. taking over the management of the Internet,' said Ambassador David Gross, the U.S. coordinator for international communications and information policy at the State Department. 'Some countries want that. We think that's unacceptable.' Many countries, particularly developing ones, have become increasingly concerned about the U.S. control, which stems from the country's role in creating the Internet as a Pentagon project and funding much of its early development."

It's a shame, since he invented it we should ask him what we should do.
Uh, the u.s. can't even handle an evacuation. Sorry, but it's true.
Now see what a dumn argument that was, feeling stupid yet?. And I'm still waiting for a good reason for the u.s. to control the internet.
Iraq wasn't broken before the US went storming in to try and "fix" it, and now look at the mess it is.
Double standards much.
