Lawmakers Support U.S. Control Of The Internet

Posted by Zonk on from the shocker-there dept.

TechScam writes "A new resolution was introduced in Congress that aims to backup the Bush administration over retaining U.S. control of the Internet's core infrastructure. From the article: 'The resolution, introduced by two Republicans and one Democrat, aims to line up Congress firmly behind the Bush administration as it heads for a showdown with much of the rest of the world over control of the global computer network.'"

    Really, no one is talking about taking the Internet away from the US.

    What is in question is what nation/organization should have the final say over the domain assignments, creation and so forth.

    Because the US is still in control, we do not have the .xxx TLD, nor will we for many years.
