The BBC fawns over a looterfest in Tunisia, to which 15,000 delegates, and more than 50 heads of state, are gleefully converging (likes ants to a picnic) to pan-handle their way into control of at least a slice of the world’s most important information technology delivery system. It isn’t fair, you see, that te net’s infrastructure has been managed in an informal way through collaboration with businesses, civil society, academic and technical communities.

I heard this again today on NPR.

I wonder what Americans will do if Iran and China get a hold of the technology that powers the global information network.?

Peter A. Brown has a great opinion piece in the Orlando Sentinel. Here is an excerpt:
“[T]he Internet was created by Americans, it shares our values of openness, freedom and capitalism. Imagine if some world group got control and decided what could and could not be allowed on the Internet and who would be allowed access. Perhaps it would decide that some products, or ideas, were not permissible, as is the case with state-run television in some societies.”

Most likely the foreign elements who want to take over the Internet will establish their own nets.

How exciting. Can't wait to see the creative ways 12 year olds will find to go around the internet police.

FWIW, all day on World Service they've been airing the views of those who support the present arrangement.

Seriously!
