A little follow up

The Internet is safe! From this threat. For a while.

The United States, backed by the European Union, Japan and Canada, has turned back a bid by developing nations to place the Internet under the control of the United Nations or its member governments.

But governments, the private sector and others will be asked to establish a mechanism under U.N. auspices to study the governance of the Internet and make recommendations by 2005.

I’m glad they listened to me.

Carlos Achiary, national director of Information Technology Argentina, said many governments are frustrated because the Internet is having a tremendous effect in their countries, but they have no place to submit their requests, complaints or suggestions.

    You know the Internet started out as a US DARPA project so isn’t it our internet?

    I did mention here, that if they didn’t like the internet the way it was they should go start their own.
