It’s about power creep...own the naming system and those who want to remain free on the web have to go back to using the number system(one can still put in numbers) and then come up with a way to communicate to others what the ‘number’ of their web site is! Demands for “international” owner ship of the nodes and the main trunk lines in this nation will be next and that is where the ax will need to be laid at the root.

Dynamic DNS and alternate DNS Services will quickly get around ICANN and any totalitarian control over the Internet, the same way TOR and BitTorrent have.

The one truth that's missing from this entire thread is that Government Bureacracy, whether here in the U.S., the Useless Nations, or a Communist regime like China or a totalitarian regime like Iran, Saudi Arabia and North Korea (for example) cannot keep up with TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES.

Since the advent of Computer Technology, Government Bureaucracies world-wide have been unable to keep up with all the different things technology can do, nor stop it from being used in ways they (the bureaucracy) haven't thought of yet.

We may see a temporary blip in free speech being stopped on the Internet but the creative use of technology will overcome that quickly and we'll all see FREE SPEECH come roaring back so quickly and so forcefully these bastards will rue the day they did this.

I'd stake my life on that.

I said it starts with the naming commission then it will start with control of the nodes, the transmission optical fibers and the forced licensing/taxing of web sites whether by number or by name.

No one has seen the full texts of the agreements of what is to be controlled by the new “folks”. This international consortium can start to claim that by controlling the natural address translation( numbers to words) system that also means they have jurisdiction over the hardware, fibers, and transmission systems...satellite and fiber.

Kind of like how the EPA claims that the navigable waters and clean waters acts gives them control of all waters including a small puddle in the backyard! It is a kind of hypercontrol 1 world government thinking that Obama feel the internet needs to be controlled by!
