Old Oct 19th, 2005, 01:18 PM        UN talks to 'take over the internet' from the US
The root DNS servers of the internet are all located within the US (so technically the US sort of 'owns' the internet), and the rest of the world wants the internet decentralized. Talks will be held shortly in Tunisia next month and a decision made. Bush does not want to give up control under any circumstances. The argument is that the US invented the internet and are a free and democratic society, so why should they give up control? I.E. if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The opposing side (every other country) does not want any one country to hold the power to cut them off from something that has become a huge part of their economic infrastructure. Most Americans I've talked to think the US should maintain control of the internet. I'm curious to hear what the I-Mockery community's thoughts are on this hot topic!
