U.S. Aims To Give Up Control Over Internet Administration
schwit1 writes with this excerpt from the Washington Post: "U.S. officials announced plans Friday to relinquish federal government control over the administration of the Internet, a move likely to please international critics but alarm some business leaders and others who rely on smooth functioning of the Web.
Pressure to let go of the final vestiges of U.S. authority over the system of Web addresses and domain names that organize the Internet has been building for more than a decade and was supercharged by the backlash to revelations about National Security Agency surveillance last year." Reader Midnight_Falcon points out this press release on the move from Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration.

If Obama has his way it'll be surrendered to China along with a slew of national treasures and an invite for the Chinese masses to join ObamaCare.

Every modicum of control we give up, surrender, or otherwise lose, is a gain for the much less savory regimes. There is no escaping it...
In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you.
